Agency

In New Jersey, a 'designated agency' arrangement allows a brokerage firm to:

ARepresent all buyers and sellers without any individual agent assignments
BDesignate one agent exclusively for the buyer and a different agent exclusively for the seller, even within the same firm✓ Correct
CAvoid dual agency by having agents work in different offices
DAssign a single agent to represent all parties in a transaction

Explanation

In a designated agency arrangement, the broker designates one licensee to represent the seller and a different licensee to represent the buyer, even though both work for the same firm. Each designated agent owes full fiduciary duties only to their respective client, avoiding the compromises inherent in dual agency.
