The Florida Real Estate Commission (FREC) regulations require your real estate broker to review your Closing Statement to verify accuracy and make sure it contains all material financial aspects of a transaction. In addition, the listing Realtor is required by the MLS to input Closing Statement data to close out your transaction (mark it as Sold) in the MLS (as the MLS is a main source of data for appraisers and real estate agents who rely on it for correct information). Under TILA-RESPA Integrated Disclosure (TRID), many attorneys and closing agents will be hesitant to share the new Closing Statement with anyone but their client. To facilitate our ability to get Closing Disclosures and Closing Statements directly from a lender or settlement service provider the Florida Association of Realtors created an Authorization Form for consumers, this one (1) page “stand alone” form provides for your express written consent, which gives us authorization to obtain a Closing Disclosure or Closing Statement Form (and any other TRID documents) directly from any of the closing service providers identified (and their representatives).
