Agency
Under Oregon law, a buyer's agent who also works as a property manager for a landlord who owns a property the buyer wants to purchase faces:
ANo conflict since property management and buyer agency are separate services
BA dual conflict of interest that must be fully disclosed to the buyer with written consent before proceeding✓ Correct
CA violation of OREA rules that automatically terminates both relationships
DOnly a minor disclosure issue requiring verbal acknowledgment
Explanation
When a broker represents the buyer while also managing the seller/landlord's property, there is a direct conflict of interest — the broker has duties to both the buyer (advocacy) and the landlord/seller (loyalty in property management). Full written disclosure to all parties and consent are required before proceeding.
