The Agency Disclosure Act deals with two distinct sets of organization-related information submitted by brokers and their agents in connection with real estate transactions: the organization`s rules are presented in a two-page format.

Agency Law Disclosure [RPI Form 305] is a reformulation of pre-existing codes and jurisprudence on the agency relationships of licensees acting on behalf of another person in connection with real estate transactions. The content is required by law. The specific agency relationship of the participants in the transaction is disclosed in the agency`s confirmation clause, which can be found in all written purchase or lease negotiations and lease agreements. I will explain in more detail the contexts of each organization, but it is first important to emphasize the emphasis that this disclosure places on fiduciary duty. This is the legal obligation to act in the best interest of the customer through his representative. Buyer and Seller representatives must maintain this obligation to their respective customers in accordance with this disclosure.
2079.20 Nothing in this section prevents an officer from selecting as a condition of the officer`s employment a particular form of agency relationship that is not expressly prohibited by this section if the requirements of sections 2079.14 and 2079.17 are met. (a) “Agent” means a person acting in connection with a real estate transaction in accordance with the provisions of Title 9 (from section 2295) and includes a person authorized as a real estate agent in accordance with Chapter 3 (from section 10130) of Part 4 of the Business and Professional Code and under whose license an offer or offer to purchase is obtained.
