Can you choose who you sell your house to in Florida?

Hello,

I know the answer seems simple but my mom seemed very convinced.

So my mother wants to sell her very nice apartment in a city in FL to move to The Villages.

I love the apartment but I don't live in Florida and ultimately it is her life. She was letting me know and I asked her the usual are you sure, tell me about the new neighborhood questions, and I also requested "If you don't need the money, would it be possible to make sure it's sold to a family or people instead of a corporation?" And she told me that was illegal to choose who you sold your house to because of discrimination and you have to take the highest offer.

I think she probably just wants a cop out because she grew up poor so she sort of always chooses to take as much money as possible when she can, but she will still make 50-75k more than she bought this apartment for 8 years ago because of how much the market has grown in her area and the improvements she made.

I'm a big believer that when possible a person should make decisions that benefit as many individuals as possible so I want to make a case for selling to a literal person or even finding a good tenant for the apartment over selling to a corporation that will try and resell it or rent it out.

While it's ultimately my moms decision, and I'm not going to be pushy, I want to have one open conversation where I lay this out with her, unless she is correct, that she cannot know who buys her home.

Thanks for your help.

Aren't comps/CMAs useless with buyer credits at close happening now?

I'm looking into buying a new construction townhouse in my HCOL US city. I'm seeing builders offering interest rate buydowns worth $20k-$60k on $800k homes (rather than just lowering prices) in order to keep their comps high for their other units, now that buyer demand has been declining. I asked my agent about these, and he said these buydowns aren't even the full story: buyers can write all kinds of other credits into an offer, like their closing costs, prepaid sewer fees, etc. Apparently cash buyers can just write in a "buyer credit at close" for any amount in their offer. So a new townhouse that appeared to sell for $800k in the MLS might have actually been a cash offer with a $100k+ buyer credit at close, meaning the buyer only spent $700k or less in total, but to the rest of the world they can only see the $800k! So that made me realize I can't trust comps/CMAs for other new construction townhouses. The sales prices could be way lower than they appear...
