Licensee Sandra represents buyer Greg, who wants to purchase a home in Bowling Green. Sandra shows Greg three properties on Saturday morning. She has not yet provided him with a written agency disclosure form. On Sunday, Greg calls Sandra and says he wants to make an offer on one of the properties. Which of the following best describes Sandra's compliance status under Kentucky law?

Correct Answer

D) Sandra has violated Kentucky law by failing to provide disclosure at first substantive contact

Under KRS 324.360 and 201 KAR 11:121, the written agency disclosure must be provided at first substantive contact. Showing properties to Greg on Saturday morning constituted first substantive contact at the latest — and likely occurred even earlier. By failing to provide the written disclosure form before or during those showings, Sandra has already violated Kentucky's agency disclosure requirements.

Answer Options
A
Sandra is in compliance because the disclosure can be provided when the offer is prepared
B
Sandra is in compliance because verbal disclosure during the showings satisfies the requirement
C
Sandra has violated Kentucky law only if Greg is also represented by another licensee
D
Sandra has violated Kentucky law by failing to provide disclosure at first substantive contact
