What Box Should I Check?
Lynn Comfort | Real Estate Specialist and Auditor
Are you disclosing your brokerage relationship with your client or customer correctly? Some purchase contracts include check boxes to disclose brokerage relationships. These are often filled out incorrectly.
If you are the only licensee involved in the transaction, you can only act in one capacity. Your relationship with both the seller and the buyer is the same. You cannot represent both sides in a transaction since it would result in dual agency which is not allowed per K.S.A. 58-30,103(a). For example, if you have a seller agency agreement with no designated agent, you would check the box indicating seller’s agent on both sides. In this scenario, you are acting as a seller’s agent for the seller and assisting the buyer as a seller’s agent.
If you have an agency agreement with a designated agent named, be sure to check the box for designated seller agent or designated buyer agent, whichever the case may be. The purchase contract and agency agreement must agree.
When drafting the purchase contract, you need to know how all licensees involved are acting in the transaction to fill out this section correctly. K.A.R. 86-3-26a(c) states that each licensee involved in a transaction as a statutory agent or a transaction broker shall ensure the completeness and accuracy of the disclosure required by K.S.A. 58-30,110(c).

A New Licensing System is Coming

Expanded online capabilities for companies/branches, including online submission of company name changes and trust account updates.
-
Increased accessibility: New system includes Single Account Management allowing brokers to view/manage their own license and access the records for any company/branch office they supervise using one account. Provides online access for course providers, allows for course roster submission and more.
