Bus Broker and why they are valuable
A "Motor Vehicle Broker" as defined by Florida Dealer License law statute 320.27 (d procures buses for the public. A bus broker primarily acts as an advertising and marketing company designed to bring bus buyers and sellers together who then close the sale independently. A bus broker does not control the price of buses they advertise, does not handle title or sales tax paperwork, does not take possession of buses for sale, doesn't hold inventory, doesn't take title of buses for resale, does not display buses on any of its properties. Brokers are paid commissions agreed upon before the deal starts thus ensuring a good price for both buyer & seller.
