Question: What is a key difference between multiple representation and designated representation within a brokerage?

Answer options:

  • Multiple representation requires only verbal consent, while designated representation requires written consent. ✅ In multiple representation, the same registrant represents both clients; in designated representation, different registrants within the same brokerage represent each client.
  • Designated representation is only permitted for commercial properties, while multiple representation is for residential.
  • Multiple representation involves a third-party intermediary, while designated representation does not.

Correct answer: In multiple representation, the same registrant represents both clients; in designated representation, different registrants within the same brokerage represent each client.

Explanation: The core distinction lies in who provides the representation. In multiple representation, a single registrant or brokerage represents both clients. In designated representation, different individual registrants within the same brokerage are each designated to represent a specific client, maintaining client-specific duties and confidentiality where possible.
