Upfront fee resale companies are against the law in Florida .... report them ASAP (by Susie H.):
There are companies that are charging fees and saying that they are not a "listing" company but a "marketing" company and therefore, the law does not apply to them. What do you say about those companies?? I've been told that the "retainer" fee that will be refunded goes for the title search and for other costs that they have to put out before we can get paid for our rentals.
