South Dakota requires agency disclosure:

Disclosure at closing is too late in the transaction. By that point, clients have already shared confidential information and made decisions based on their understanding (or misunderstanding) of their agent's role. The law requires disclosure to happen before these critical interactions.

Agency disclosure is mandatory in South Dakota, not optional. It cannot be provided only if requested by the client. The law requires agents to proactively disclose their agency relationship regardless of whether the client asks.

South Dakota law explicitly requires agency disclosure. The option 'Never' directly contradicts state regulations and would expose both agents and clients to significant legal risk.
