A Minnesota buyer and seller use a facilitator for paperwork and communication. Which statement would incorrectly describe the facilitator relationship in that transaction?

Correct Answer

C) A facilitator must obtain informed written consent from both parties before proceeding in the transaction

The statement that a facilitator must obtain informed written consent from both parties is NOT accurate for the facilitator role. Informed written consent from both parties is required for DUAL AGENCY, not for the facilitator role. A facilitator simply discloses their non-agency status; they do not need consent from both parties to proceed in the facilitator capacity.

Answer Options
A
A facilitator assists in a transaction without representing either the buyer or the seller as an agent
B
A facilitator owes limited statutory duties, such as accounting for funds and providing honest information
C
A facilitator must obtain informed written consent from both parties before proceeding in the transaction
D
A facilitator does not owe fiduciary duties such as loyalty, confidentiality, or obedience to either party
