Before touring together

Before touring homes with a Worthington agent, review and sign a written buyer agreement. Compensation is negotiable, and you may owe some or all of the agreed amount if payments from the seller or listing broker do not cover it. Worthington works as a transaction broker, providing limited representation under Florida law.

Understand the agreement and brokerage relationship

Five checks before you choose an offer

  • Comparable sales

    What similar homes sold for, allowing for differences in condition, features and location.

  • Current competition

    Which comparable homes are available and what alternatives you have.

  • Price changes

    How the asking price has changed during the listing.

  • Total time listed

    Time on the current listing and earlier listings, where available.

  • Earlier listing outcomes

    Whether previous listings ended without a sale and what happened when the home returned.

These checks inform the offer. They do not establish what a seller will accept.
