Agency

What is 'informed consent' to dual agency and why is it required in Hawaii?

AA. The client's consent to allow the agent to share their private information with the other party
BB. Written consent from both buyer and seller after receiving full disclosure of what dual agency means, including its limitations on the agent's ability to advocate for either party✓ Correct
CC. The broker's consent to allow two agents in the firm to work on the same transaction
DD. The Real Estate Commission's approval for a specific dual agency transaction

Explanation

Informed consent to dual agency requires the agent to fully explain what dual agency means: reduced advocacy for each party, limitations on confidentiality, and the agent's inability to fully represent either side. Both buyer and seller must provide written consent after receiving this explanation. Without informed consent, dual agency is improper.
