Can I be a single agent and a non-representative broker on the same transaction? - FL

[Shubham Aggarwal]

I am currently the listing agent (single agent) on a property, and I have been approached by a cash buyer that is looking to purchase without representation from an agent.  As a single agent, can I be a non-representative broker to the buyer? The buyer will be submitting his offer and taking care of himself. 

This will be beneficial to me and the seller because I can take a piece of the buyer's agent commission and then pass the remaining savings to the seller.  But I want to make sure this is legal. Or do you think I should transition to a transaction broker and represent the transaction (i.e. both the seller and buyer)?

It would depend on what type of listing agreement you signed with the seller. You will need to transition over to a transactional agreement if you initially signed a single agent agreement. However, all that being said, discuss this with your broker before moving along further.
