Florida Real Estate Commission
The Florida Real Estate Commission hereby gives notice of the issuance of an Order regarding the Petition for Declaratory Statement, filed on November 8, 2016, by Robert Borr. The Notice of Petition for Declaratory Statement was published in Vol. 42, No. 221, of the November 14, 2016 Florida Administrative Register. The Commission considered the Petition at a duly-noticed public meeting on December 13, 2016. The Petitioner sought the Commission’s interpretation of Section 475.01(1)(a), F.S., and further sought an opinion on whether a “wholesale buyer”, as described in his petition, falls under the definition of a “broker” provided in said Section.
The Commission denies the petition because: Rule 28-105.001, F.A.C., provides that a declaratory statement is not the appropriate means for determining the conduct of another person.
A copy of the Commission’s Order may be obtained by contacting: Lori Crawford, Executive Director, Division of Real Estate, 400 West Robinson Street, Suite N801, Orlando, Florida 32801.
