Agency
In Oregon, a principal broker in a firm where two brokers represent opposite sides of the same transaction should:
ARepresent both the buyer and seller personally as a dual agent
BUse a designated agency arrangement where each broker exclusively represents their own client✓ Correct
CWithdraw from the transaction entirely
DRequire both parties to use outside brokers
Explanation
In an in-company (in-house) transaction where two brokers from the same firm represent opposite parties, Oregon allows designated agency — the principal broker designates each broker to exclusively represent their respective client. This addresses the conflict of interest that would arise with traditional dual agency.
