    • FloridaBar-7 (Residential Contract for Sale and Purchase). The Florida Realtors®/Florida Bar Joint Contract Committee made the following three changes in both contracts: Updated to better define “Closing Services” in paragraph 9 and clarify that each party to the transaction shall bear their own costs for Closing Services related to their respective role in the transaction (buyer or seller). Paragraph 15(a) was revised to remove the provision that allowed the cooperating broker to request half of a listing broker’s retained deposit (if any) in the event of a buyer default. Paragraph 19 was changed to add check boxes for the previously approved riders FF and GG. CLICK HERE to preview detailed changes to the FloridaBar-7.
