loans to developers of affordable multifamily and single family housing developments and/or first

time homebuyers of single family residences. As it may become necessary for Florida Housing to

foreclose on such loans, to otherwise acquire properties or to assist owners of low income housing

tax credit properties who have submitted requests for qualified contracts, Florida Housing has a

provide real estate marketing and brokerage services and assist Florida Housing with the marketing

and disposition of land, multifamily and single family housing developments, and/or single family

residences.

The Contractor shall perform and render the services listed below as an independent contractor

and not as an employee of Florida Housing. Nothing in this RFQ authorizes the Contractor to bind

Florida Housing or act on behalf of Florida Housing except as expressly authorized in writing.

A. Advise Florida Housing on expected selling price range as well as listing price;

B. Provide valuation model utilized to determine expected selling price and proposed listing

price;

websites;

H. Provide and review documents related to sales and assist in the closing of sales;

listing venues;

J. Marketing and showing properties and homes to prospective buyers;
