We have a Property Management business and it is growing by leaps. From reading the Florida Statutes, we are trying to make sure we are within the law. We work with a Realtor who is employeed by a broker. I understand we need an Escrow account for the tenants Security Deposits but how is this account to be set up and why?
Any classes you know of or information you can provide is appreciated. We deal mainly with Residential Single Family Homes.

I am in escrow on some property in which the seller and his real estate agent were not very forthcoming in their disclosure statements. Through a third party I found out some things about the property that are detriments (such as occassional flooding) but I am willing to overlook them and still purchase the property. I have released all my contingencies and we have a close date set.

My real estate agent happened to tell the seller’s real estate agent that we found out some of these things on the property – most importantly about the flooding – and now the selling real estate agent wants me to sign a bunch of documents listing out what I found out as if she had told me about them. I don’t want to do it – it took considerable effort for me to uncover these issues and I have already signed off on contingencies.

I am asking if a real estate agent can legally force me to sign informal and misleading documents in order to progress with the purchase? The seller and I have already signed all legal documents as outlined in our legal contract.
