AGENCY DISCLOSURE
Virginia law and regulations require real estate agents to disclose their agency
relationships to all prospective customers and clients. In addition to meeting
that requirement, this disclosure is intended to inform customers about agency
relationships and the duties of real estate agents, brokers and firms. For
convenience, Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxxxx, Inc., and all other real estate agents,
brokers and firms are hereinafter collectively referral to as "licensees" since
they are all required to be licensed by the Virginia Real Estate Board.
Agency is the relationship formed when one person works for or represent another
person by express authority. People whom licensees represent are called clients.
People who receive services from licensees without being represented by the
licensees are called customers. A licensee does not necessarily represent the
person who pays him or her. As a result, a licensee can represent the buyer, but
be paid by the seller, or vice versa. Although agency relationships can be
formed without a written agreement, you should not assume that any person
represents you unless you have a written agreement with such person. The
agreement between the licensee and the client creates a brokerage relationship.
Client Status. As a client, you enter into an agreement with a licensee for that
licensee to represent you. This agreement may be called a "listing," a
"managemant agreement," a "buyer broker agreement," or an "agency agreement,"
depending on whether you are a seller, landlord, buyer, or tenant. You are then
the licensee's client. If the agreement is an exclusive agreement, you are
required to work through that licensee. The licensee will generally be entitled
to a commission if you buy, sell, or lease (as appropriate) property, even if
you do not use the services of the licensee. The licensee is required to give
you advice as to price and other matters and to disclose any material
information known to the licensee about the property or the transaction. The
licensee will also help you to negogiate favorable terms. The licensee is also
required not to disclose to other parties any personal of financial information
about you or any other information you ask to be kept confidential.
Customer Status. As a customer, you do not sign an agreement with a licensee
(although the licensee is still required to obtain this Agency Disclosure Form
executed by you). You are then the licensee's customer. The licensee may
represent the other party in the transaction, who will be the licensee's client.
You are not legally required to work through the licensee, and the licensee will
only be entitled to a commission if you buy, sell or lease (as appropriate)
property through the licensee. The licensee can give you general advice and is
required to treat you honestly and disclose material facts known to the licensee
regarding the physical condition of the property, but the licensee generally
cannot give advice regarding price or assistance in negotiating favorable terms.
The licensee is required to disclose to its client any information which it
knows about you which might be helpful to the client. If you will be a customer,
you should be aware that there may be other relevant information concerning the
transaction which may be obtained from other sources.
Additional Duties of Licensees. In addition to the duties that are described
above and any duties included in the agreement between the licensee and the
client, a licensee has certain duties under the Virginia law and the Virginia
Real Estate Board regulations. A licensee must promote the interests of its
client by seeking a buyer or tenant or an appropriate property for its clients,
although a licensee is not required to continue these efforts after a contract
has been signed, and by timely presenting all written offers and counter-offers.
A licensee must account to its clients for all money and property which the
licensees receives in which the client has an interest. Before a licensee enters
into a brokerage relationship, the licensee must advise the prospective client
of the type of relationship which is proposed, the licensee's compensation and
whether the licensee will share that compensation with a licensee who represents
another party to the transaction. A licensee owes its clients a duty of ordinary
cure.
Dual Agency. Dual Agency, or Dual Representation, is the situation which exists
when the same licensee represents both the buyer and the seller or the landlord
and the tenant. This generally occurs where a buyer or a tenant which is a
client of a licensee becomes interested in a property which is listed with the
same real estate company. This leads to conflicts of interest, which Virginia
law permits licenses to handle in two different ways. The first alternative is
Simple Dual Agency. With this alternative, the broker and all salespersons
continue to represent both parties, but they do not share any confidential
information. The other alternative involves the use of Designated
Representatives. With this alternative, the broker is still a dual agent, but
separate agents are named to represent the buyer and the seller or the landlord
and the tenant, and these agents represent their respective clients as if the
agents work for separate companies. Both agents must give their best advice and
keep the confidences of their clients. Licensees are required by law to disclose
to both parties whenever a dual agency relationship arises and any time
designated representatives are used, and all parties must then sign a Disclosure
of Dual Repreentation or Disclosure of Use of Designated Representatives form.
Firm Policies. Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxxxx, Inc., represents both buyers and sellers and
landlords and tenants. In cases of dual agency, Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxxxx, Inc., uses
designated representatives whenever possible. When representing sellers,
landlords, and optionors, Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxxxx, Inc., has a policy of cooperating
with both licensees who work with the other party as customers and licensees who
work with the other party as clients unless otherwise instructed by the Firm's
client. When working with buyers, either as customers or clients, the policy of
Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxxxx, Inc., is to show properties listed with Xxxxxx X.
Xxxxxxxxx, Inc., and other real estate firms.
This is not an agreement, but only a disclosure form.

covered by insurance which is caused by tenant's fault or negligence shall
forthwith be paid to Landlord by Tenant.
