In this episode you will learn: - Intermediary is the Texas-specific alternative to dual agency, applying when one brokerage represents both buyer and seller. - Acting as an intermediary is only legal with explicit written consent from both parties, typically found in representation agreements. - An intermediary broker must remain neutral, facilitating the transaction without providing advice or opinions to either side. - Confidential information, such as negotiating positions, cannot be disclosed by the intermediary without written permission. - A broker may appoint different agents to the buyer and seller, which allows those appointed agents to provide advice to their respective clients.
