A buyer agency disclosure is a notice that clarifies the agency relationship, in particular whom an agent represents and on what terms. Requirements vary by state, and the topic has drawn more attention since the 2024 NAR settlement changed how buyer representation is documented.
At an open house, capturing the right disclosure or consent at sign-in, where a state requires it, keeps the event compliant without a clipboard conversation. Always follow your broker and state guidance; this glossary is not legal advice.
