Agency Relationships & Interest Disclosure: What You're Entitled to Know
Answer 4 questions for a 5-category agency checklist: agency types, disclosure requirements, dual agency risks, questions to ask, and protecting yourself.
Who your agent represents matters: a buyer's agent owes you fiduciary duties (loyalty, confidentiality, disclosure); a listing agent represents the seller. Dual agency needs your written consent. Your right to know is protected by law — this list helps you use it.
- Agent relationship disclosures are written documents you sign
- Agents with an ownership interest in a listed property must disclose in writing (NAR Article 4)
- You can decline dual agency — ask for an agent who represents only you
