5. CONSENT TO BROKERAGE RELATIONSHIPS.
Landlord's Agency as Starting Point; Effect of In-House Sales. Pursuant to this Contract, REALTOR® will initially be acting in the capacity of Owner's agent, with the duties and obligations of a landlord's agent under Missouri law as set forth following the parties’ signatures below. However, Owner acknowledges that from time to time, a prospective tenant may engage REALTOR® to act in one of several possible capacities with respect to that tenant, depending on what brokerage relationships are permitted by REALTOR®’s office policy. The following subsections describe circumstances where Missouri law may permit or require a conversion of REALTOR®’s brokerage relationship with Owner to a different brokerage relationship. Disclosure of any conversion to a different brokerage relationship shall be made upon its occurrence as may be required by rule or regulation.
Conversion to Dual Agency Where REALTOR® Is Engaged by Tenant to Act as Tenant's Agent. If a prospective tenant has engaged REALTOR® to act in the capacity of tenant's agent, Missouri law permits REALTOR® to show the Property to and otherwise represent the buyer, as a dual agent representing both Owner and the tenant, with the written consent of all parties. In such case, REALTOR® may act as a dual agent with the duties and obligations of a dual agent under Missouri law as set forth following the parties’ signatures below. Owner DOES consent to REALTOR® representing both Owner and a tenant as a dual agent.
Designated Agents for Landlord and Tenant; Possible Conversion to Dual Agency or Transaction Brokerage. Missouri law permits REALTOR® to appoint one or more licensees affiliated with REALTOR® as designated agents to the exclusion of all other affiliated licensees. Owner DOES consent to REALTOR®’s appointment of designated agent(s). An individual broker, designated broker or office manager/supervising broker affiliated with REALTOR® shall not be considered to be a dual agent or transaction broker solely because such broker has appointed one or more affiliated licensee(s) to represent Owner to the exclusion of all other affiliated licensees of REALTOR®; however, any licensee who personally represents both Owner and the tenant in the same transaction shall be a dual agent or a transaction broker. Further, if such broker supervises the licensees for both sides of a transaction, that broker will be a dual agent or a transaction broker upon learning confidential information about either party to a transaction or upon being consulted by any licensee involved in the transaction. Also, when the broker supervises the licensee representing or assisting one (1) side of the transaction and personally represents or assists the other side, that broker will be a dual agent or a transaction broker. Any such broker or licensee shall be required to comply with the provisions regarding dual agent or transaction brokers under Missouri law as set forth following the parties’ signatures below.
Conversion to Transaction Brokerage Where REALTOR® Is Engaged by Tenant to Act as Tenant's Agent or Transaction Broker. If a prospective tenant has engaged REALTOR® to act in the capacity of tenant's agent or transaction broker, Missouri law permits REALTOR® to show the Property and otherwise assist the tenant as a transaction broker assisting both Owner and the tenant without an agency relationship to either of them, with the written consent of all parties. In such case REALTOR® may act as a transaction broker with the duties and obligations of a transaction broker under Missouri law as set forth following the parties’ signatures below. Note: If REALTOR® wishes to convert to transaction brokerage but Owner does not consent to such conversion, then REALTOR® may without liability withdraw from representing Owner. Such withdrawal shall not prejudice the ability of REALTOR® to continue to represent the other client in the transaction or limit REALTOR® from representing Owner in another transaction not involving transaction brokerage. Owner DOES consent to REALTOR® assisting both Owner and a tenant as a transaction broker.
