Agency
In Montana, a buyer who works with an agent for an extended period and makes multiple offers that are all rejected may argue an 'implied agency' relationship exists if the agent has:
ASimply shown the buyer homes without any agreement
BActed in ways consistent with representing the buyer's interests, leading the buyer to reasonably believe an agency relationship existed✓ Correct
CVerbally promised to represent the buyer
DSubmitted offers on behalf of the buyer with the broker's signature
Explanation
An implied agency can arise from conduct without a formal written agreement. If an agent has been acting consistently as the buyer's representative—advising on offers, negotiating, sharing information—an implied agency relationship may be found by a court.
