BA dual agency or designated agency situation exists requiring disclosure and written consent from both parties✓ Correct
CThe listing broker automatically becomes the buyer's agent

Explanation
When a buyer represented by an agent sees a property listed by the same brokerage, a dual agency or designated agency situation arises. Oregon law requires written disclosure and informed consent from both buyer and seller. The brokerage may use designated agency (assigning separate agents to each party) or disclosed dual agency (if both parties consent to the same agent representing both).
