A

No consent

B

Written consent from both parties after disclosure of limited duties

Correct Answer
C

Only seller consent

Only seller consent is insufficient because dual agency affects both buyer and seller. Washington requires consent from all parties involved in the dual agency relationship, not just one side.

D

Verbal consent only

Verbal consent alone is insufficient in Washington. The state specifically requires written documentation of consent to ensure clarity and create a record of the client's understanding and agreement.

Why is this correct?

Washington specifically requires written consent from both parties after full disclosure of limited duties in dual agency situations. This protects clients by ensuring they understand their agent cannot fully represent both parties' interests simultaneously.
