A broker of record is the licensed real estate broker who holds the brokerage license under which agents conduct transactions in a given state. Mr. Biggs provides broker-of-record services, enabling real estate agents, teams, and institutional investors to operate across state lines without the cost and complexity of obtaining individual licenses in every jurisdiction, while also supporting transactions in markets like Tampa Bay and across specialized asset classes including commercial real estate.
This service is especially valuable for agents relocating between states, teams expanding into new markets, and institutional investors managing portfolios of properties across the country, including those leveraging strategies like 1031 exchanges and investing in assets such as vacant land.
Many multi-state brokerage clients also rely on specialized nationwide tax referral networks for coordinated real estate tax planning and transaction support.
What Is a Broker of Record?
In every U.S. state, real estate agents must work under a licensed broker to conduct transactions. The broker of record is the individual or entity that holds the brokerage license and takes legal responsibility for the transactions conducted under that license. This includes compliance with state real estate laws, maintaining errors and omissions (E&O) insurance, and supervising agent activities.
For agents who operate in multiple states, maintaining separate broker relationships in each jurisdiction is complex, expensive, and administratively burdensome. Mr. Biggs eliminates that burden by providing a single broker-of-record relationship.
Investors, developers, and brokerage professionals often compare multiple real estate tax reduction strategies when structuring complex real estate transactions across different markets.
