1 Change By Blake Hegeman and Andrew Kantor On July 1, Virginia s real estate agency law changes this is the law that governs how Realtors and their clients do business together. The changes are far from monumental, but they are going to impact some of your more common client interactions. There are three notable changes to the law: Many Realtors are already meeting these requirements; most of these changes simply put longstanding best practices into law. But VAR had specific reasons for advocating for the new law. The law helps keep consumers fully informed about the real estate services they ll receive and the nature of their relationship with the licensee. It removes ambiguity, and puts everyone on the same page. The new law protects licensees by ensuring they provide full disclosure to the people they work with and that the nature of the brokerage relationship is clear, unambiguous, and in writing. This can reduce a lot of consumer confusion and the potential for lawsuits. The law is intended to make sure that licensees who practice dual agency are fully informing consumers about the risky nature of that relationship JUNE/JULY
2 Brokerage agreements Brokerage agreements must now be in writing. Further, they must be signed as soon as you engage in any kind of licensed activity on your clients behalf. In other words, anything that requires you to have a real estate license. (More on that in a moment.) The most significant change is fairly simple and straightforward: So if you re used to working with buyer clients on a handshake basis, and providing the brokerage agreement later in the game (e.g., when an offer is made, or when you submit a contract), you ll have to treat the process more formally. Specifically, starting July 1, before you do any real estate-related licensed activity, you ll have to have your client sign VAR form 450/460 Exclusive/Non- Exclusive Right to Represent Buyer Agreement or whatever equivalent form your company adopts. (A brokerage agreement is required for seller representatives as well, but this is typically fulfilled by the listing agreement.) do The law requires that once an agent and a buyer have agreed to work together to purchase real estate, they must put their agreement in writing before the agent can begin to actually perform any licensed activity. Licensed activity means doing anything for a consumer you represent that only someone holding a real estate license is permitted to do. Some examples (and this is obviously not a comprehensive list): make or ask for. Before you engage in any of these (or other, similar activities with the intended outcome of bringing together a buyer and a seller), you must have your client sign a brokerage agreement. A signed agreement doesn t have to be a long-term contract it can be for a month, a week, a day, or even to show a single property. The agreement can stipulate that you are acting as a standard agent, a limited-services agent, or an independent contractor. (See the glossary for details.) Brokerage agreements do not have to be exclusive. Your brokerage agreement must contain, at an absolute minimum, the following: will provide. (Your brokerage may already have standard language for this section.) how and when they will be paid. ment; if this is omitted, the law assumes it s for 90 days. Traditionally, some agents have waited until later in the client relationship to ask for a signed agreement, even to the point of including it with documents at closing. But best practices have always suggested you provide this sooner and in writing. And as of July 1, the law requires it as well. VOLUME 19 ISSUE 3 JUNE/JULY
3 Enhanced disclosure of dual agency When an unrepresented person is interested in a property you have listed, you might be tempted to keep the entire transaction in the firm and represent both sides. There are two common ways of doing this: designated agency and disclosed dual agency. Both relationships require a written agreement signed by all parties. For designated agency, that s VAR form 103; for dual agency use VAR form 101 (for residential) or 102 (for commercial) or your company s equivalent. Of the two, designated agency when a principal or supervising broker assigns different licensees within the firm to represent exclusively the seller and buyer, respectively has far fewer pitfalls. Dual agency is a much more controversial and difficult relationship, and it comes with significant limitations to the services you are legally allowed to provide either client. Because of that, starting July 1 the agency law will require you to provide those clients with new, specific language that more clearly explains those limitations. These are called enhanced disclosures. merits of specific terms, offers, or counteroffers. its condition (except the disclosures required by law for seller representatives). ing to the transaction. In short, both clients receive a reduced service level, but usually with no reduction in fee. (The only exceptions to these rules are commercial transactions, and certain situations in which existing clients come together.) These limitations are not new. Further, it s long been the law in Virginia that licensees were required to explained to clients who contemplating a dual-agency relationship that the services and representation they d receive would be diminished. However, industry leaders, educators and regulators have been concerned for some time that in practice, many agents were not disclosing these caveats as clearly and thoroughly as they should. The enhanced disclosure requirements that take effect July 1 are intended to assure full and accurate disclosure. There will be one major exception to the requirement to give the new disclosure of the consequences of dual agency to your clients. You may continue to use the more limited form of agency disclosure (the one found in current VAR Form 100) when a current seller client and a current buyer client with whom you already have pre-existing brokerage agreements come together in a transaction.
4 Words and phrases and clauses: With the new agency law, there are some terms you might hear every now and again, and some others where it s crucial to understand the difference. The new agency law still allows you to represent your client and treat the other unrepresented party as a customer; the Virginia Real Estate Board Regulations allow you to perform ministerial duties for a customer (even for a fee, if you negotiate one). VREB regulations define ministerial acts as those routine acts which a licensee can perform for a person which do not involve discretion or the exercise of the licensee s own judgment. Some examples of ministerial acts you can do for a customer include: the terms of the contract is reserved for your client and A standard agent has a list of mandatory duties outlined in the Virginia Code; an example is [r]receiving a and presenting in a timely manner written offers and counteroffers to and from the seller and purchasers, even when When a client does not want a Realtor to perform limited-services agent or an independent contractor. The A limited-service agent performs, not surprisingly, client. In effect, it s taking the list of everything a full- isn t interested in. the following criteria: 1. It discloses that the licensee is acting as a limitedservices representative. 2. It provides a list of the specific services that the licensee will provide to the client. 3. It provides a list of the specific statutory duties of a standard agent that the limited-services representative will not provide the client. 4. It includes this language (or its equivalent): By entering into this brokerage agreement, the undersigned do hereby acknowledge their informed consent to the limited service representation by the licensee and do further acknowledge that neither the other party to the transaction nor any real estate licensee representing the other party is under any legal obligation to assist the undersigned with the performance of any duties and responsibilities of the undersigned not performed by the limited service representative. Another form of representation is that of an independent contractor estate licensee is acting as an independent contractor and not as an agent. (This has nothing to do with your the terms are the same.) specifically for use when a Realtor wants to act as an independent contractor, tentatively titled Independent You have a client when you have means you ve agreed to perform licensed activity for that consumer (licensed activity is performing services that only someone holding a real estate is permitted to do).

5 Working with unrepresented parties If you already represent a client in the transaction say, you re hosting your seller s open house, or you get a call writing as soon as you begin any substantive discussion about the property with someone who isn t your client. Brokerage Agreement for Unrepresented Parties, for this very purpose. The idea is to inform the interested party that you re there as the seller s representative, and thus speaking with you is like speaking with the seller. (It s a good idea house you re hosting.) Therefore, one of the first questions you should always another licensee. tenant anyone who isn t your client and who is not - asks you if the seller is willing to reduce the sale price is willing to agree to paint the house as part of the Ultimately, it is up to the licensee to determine when - disclosure form.
6 Mandatory three-hour class Starting July 1, in order to renew their licenses real estate agents in Virginia must take a three-hour course on the provisions of the agency statute and the changes made in the legislation. Check with your local association or real estate school to find where you can take this course, or browse through the large database of classes compiled at to find one near you. Just be sure it s listed as Approved 3 hours CE/PL RSA. If your current license expires you can take the agency course any time between now and your renewal date. (In fact, if your license expires in July 2012, you ll need the course quickly.) However, if your license expires you should wait to take the course until after you have renewed your license and your next licensing cycle begins. (You may also take the course now to be sure you re familiar with the law s requirements, but you ll need to take it again, for credit, in your next license cycle.) Bottom line With all the publicity being given to these changes to the agency law, it s easy to lose sight of a simple fact: Not that much is changing. In fact, for many Realtors, the only difference will be switching to using the new forms. (See Forms Factor, page 19.) The new agency law simply codifies longstanding best practices what should have been standard operating procedure all along. It protects Realtors by ensuring they inform their clients quickly and clearly about the nature of what can be a complex relationship. And it protects consumers by giving them the confidence to know up front what to expect from their Realtor.
