Under Washington's Law of Real Estate Agency (RCW 18.86.060), which of the following is NOT a restriction placed on a licensee acting as a dual agent?

Correct Answer

D) A dual agent may not show the buyer any properties listed by the same brokerage without first terminating the dual agency

There is no restriction under RCW 18.86.060 that prohibits a dual agent from showing a buyer properties listed by the same brokerage. In fact, in-house transactions are a common scenario that gives rise to dual agency in the first place. The statute governs the duties and confidentiality obligations of a dual agent but does not prohibit showing in-house listings. With proper written consent from both parties, a dual agent may facilitate transactions involving the brokerage's own listings.
