  Dual Agency Disclosure

Dual/Designated Agency Disclosure
1997


1/00

Per updated state regulations:
Dual and Designated Agency Disclosure
Forms related to Dual/Designated Agency have been removed from the regulations. The updated regulations keep in place required disclosures, and in place of the forms previously published in regulation the Department has posted template forms on its website.
When a real estate licensee represents both the prospective seller and buyer, both parties must agree to dual agency using the consent form mandated in section 20-325g of the Connecticut General Statutes.
As previously allowed, when a broker is acting as a dual agent, they may appoint designated seller’s and buyer’s agents for a particular transaction. Once appointed, the broker must provide written notice to both prospective parties and obtain written consent from both prospective parties. The written notice must include the following:

  • A description of the roles and responsibilities of appointing brokers and designated agents
  • An acknowledgment from each prospective party that they consent to the appointment of designated agents
  • Names of the appointed designated agents for each prospective party
  • Name of appointing broker or authorized agent of such appointing broker

A combined dual and designated agency form may be utilized.

 

These changes will be available on DocuSign, dotloop, Glide, Skyslope, Transaction Desk and zipForm as soon as possible.
