The Illinois Real Estate License Act requires licensees to provide agency disclosure:
Question & Answer
Review the question and all answer choices
Only at closing
Waiting until closing is too late for agency disclosure. By then, important decisions about representation may have already been made. The relationship must be established before substantive discussions about properties or terms begin.
At first substantive contact
Only if requested
Agency disclosure is mandatory in Illinois, not optional. Licensees cannot wait until a client specifically requests disclosure; it must be provided at first substantive contact regardless of whether the client asks for it.
Only to buyers
Disclosure is required for both buyers and sellers, not just buyers. The Illinois Real Estate License Act applies to all parties in a real estate transaction where a licensee is involved.
Why is this correct?
Illinois law mandates agency disclosure at first substantive contact, which occurs when discussing specific properties or client needs. This early disclosure establishes clear representation before negotiations begin, protecting all parties and complying with Illinois licensing requirements.
