In this episode you will learn: - California requires written disclosure when a licensee is acting as a principal or has a personal interest in a property transaction. - The disclosure must be provided to all parties as early as possible in the transaction, not just mentioned in the contract fine print. - This duty extends to situations where the agent represents immediate family members or business entities in which they have an ownership interest. - Receiving compensation from more than one party, such as a commission from a seller and a fee from a lender, requires full written disclosure to all parties. - A verbal disclosure is insufficient for the exam; material conflicts of interest must always be disclosed in writing to be compliant.
