Answer B: Disclosure of the in-company transaction and informed written consent for designated agency or dual agency

When a buyer's salesperson works in the same brokerage as the listing agent, an in-company or in-house transaction occurs. Delaware requires disclosure and informed written consent for the appropriate agency structure (designated agency or dual agency).

Exam Tip: Agency

Agency questions are among the most tested on the exam. Focus on the difference between client and customer, and memorize the fiduciary duties (OLD CAR). Watch for questions that try to blur the line between a general agent and a special agent.
