Agency Disclosure and Dual Agency Policy
Last updated: April 17, 2026
Oregon Agency Relationships
In Oregon, real estate brokers may represent buyers, sellers, or — with the prior written consent of both parties — both buyer and seller in the same transaction. Oregon law requires that every prospective client receive the Oregon Initial Agency Disclosure Pamphlet before any substantive discussion of a specific property, as set out in OAR 863-015-0215.
Dual Agency
Oregon law permits a real estate licensee to represent both buyer and seller (“dual agency”) only with the prior informed written consent of both parties. In a dual agency, the broker owes both clients a duty of honest and fair dealing and will not disclose confidential information about one client to the other without written authorization.
Oregon Life Homes Policy
Aaron Cherry, Broker, practicing under Oregon Life Homes, provides every prospective client with the Oregon Initial Agency Disclosure Pamphlet required under OAR 863-015-0215 at the first substantive contact. Aaron’s default practice is single-agent representation — representing either the buyer or the seller, not both, in a given transaction — in order to provide undivided loyalty and advocacy. Dual agency or disclosed limited agency will only be entered into with the informed written consent of all parties, and only after each party has had the opportunity to review the disclosure pamphlet and ask questions.
