CA licensed escrow officer who assists with transactions
DAn IREC mediator for disputed transactions

Explanation

Unlike some states that have a statutory 'transaction broker' or 'facilitator' status, Idaho requires agents to operate as a seller's agent, buyer's agent, or (with written consent) a disclosed limited agent. Agents in Idaho cannot simply assist a transaction without an agency obligation — they must establish and document the appropriate agency relationship.
