Explanation

Designated agency occurs when a brokerage represents both the buyer and seller in the same transaction but designates different individual brokers within the firm to represent each party. Each designated agent can provide full fiduciary representation to their client. The managing broker and brokerage may still be considered dual agents, but the designated agents themselves focus solely on their respective clients' interests.
