What is a transactional broker in Florida real estate?

I'm getting ready to buy a home in Florida and have been interviewing a few real estate agents. One agent mentioned that they work as a "transactional broker" instead of representing either the buyer or seller exclusively. I've bought property before in another state, but I don't remember hearing that term, and I'm a little confused about what it actually means for me as a client. Can someone explain, in simple terms, what a transactional broker is in Florida real estate? How is that different from having an agent who represents me as a buyer?
