Dual agency in Connecticut requires:

Dual agency without consent would create significant conflicts of interest and violate fiduciary duties. Connecticut law explicitly prohibits dual agency without proper consent from both parties to protect consumers from potential harm.

Verbal consent is insufficient in Connecticut for dual agency situations. Written documentation is required to ensure both parties fully understand and agree to the arrangement, creating a legal record of consent.

Commission approval is not required for dual agency in Connecticut. While state real estate commissions regulate the industry, the specific requirement is written informed consent from both parties, not commission approval.
