realMLS Forms to Florida Realtors® Forms - Look-Up Tool
In support of the Coast 2 Coast MLS Data Share’s alignment of services and to create efficiencies in the marketplace both the NEFAR Board of Directors and the realMLS Board of Directors voted to adopt the Florida Realtors® forms and to sunset both NEFAR and realMLS forms. An alternative would be to seek legal assistance to write contracts specifically for your brokerage. NEFAR and realMLS will no longer provide or support the NEFAR or realMLS forms after June 30, 2024 with some exceptions-see below.
On this page is a search Look-Up Tool. Type the name of the NEFAR/realMLS Form in the Search Box to find the suggested Florida Realtors® Form. There could be multiple forms that match so be sure to click Next at the bottom to view all.
It is very important that you continue to visit the Florida Realtor website on their continued efforts to provide new and updated forms. Please visit here to view forms updates, training opportunities, and more.
Please view this brief video of Juana Watkins (Florida Realtor Attorney) explaining the new forms and a transcript of the video here https://floridarealtors.org/NAR-Settlement.

Anticipated Date October 1:
Condo riders will change October 1, NOT July 1 as stated below. The change is mandated by the statute and is effective for Oct 1 not July 1.
Yes, effective August 17,2024 all Participants providing brokerage services to a buyer must have a written agreement in place BEFORE touring a listing (services such as but not limited to identifying potential properties, arranging for the buyer to tour a property, performing or facilitating negotiations on behalf of the buyer, presenting offers by the buyer, or other services for the buyer).
These agreements benefit consumers because they clearly and transparently outline the brokerage services that will be provided by a Realtor Participant and how the Participant will be compensated.
The agreement must describe the broker’s compensation and must include:
- A specific and conspicuous disclosure of the amount or rate of compensation the Participant will receive or how this amount will be determined, to the extent that the Participant will receive compensation from any source
- The amount of compensation in a manner that is objectively ascertainable and not open-ended.
- A term that prohibits the Participant from receiving compensation for brokerage services from any source that exceeds the amount or rate agreed to in the agreement with the buyer
- A conspicuous statement that broker fees and commissions are not set by law and are fully negotiable. (This could be on a separate agreement but is required
MLS Participants who simply market their services or just talk to a buyer—like at an open house or by providing an unrepresented buyer access to a house they have listed will not at that time be required to obtain a Buyer’s Broker Agreement.
The Buyer’s Broker Agreements will be monitored and requested by the MLS for compliance reviews.
Webinars, online training and in-person classes will be available. Florida Realtors®. Training videos will also be available to better familiarize yourself with the Florida Realtors® forms.
