Question & Answer
Review the question and all answer choices
Verbal consent only
Verbal consent is insufficient in New Jersey. The state requires written documentation to ensure clients have a clear understanding of the dual agency arrangement and its implications, creating a record of informed consent.
Written informed consent from both parties
Only buyer consent
Only buyer consent is insufficient in New Jersey. Both parties must provide written informed consent because both clients will have their interests represented by the same brokerage, creating potential conflicts for both.
No consent needed
Consent is always needed in New Jersey before dual agency. No state allows dual agency without proper consent, as this would violate fiduciary duties and potentially harm clients' interests.
Why is this correct?
New Jersey specifically requires written informed consent from both parties before dual agency is permitted. This documentation ensures clients understand potential conflicts and voluntarily agree to the arrangement, meeting the state's legal requirements for dual representation.
