Question: What is a designated agent and what services can a designated agent provide?

Answer: “Designated Agent” or “Designated Representative” means a licensee who has been assigned by a principal or supervising broker to represent a client while a different client in the same transaction is represented by another “licensee” affiliated with the same principal or supervising broker in a transaction. (The designated broker remains the “dual agent” in the transaction.) A designated agent provides full representation to his or her client.
