What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, a licensed real estate broker may not advertise a property

unless the broker becomes the listing firm for the property or obtains consent to

advertise the property from the listing firm. This bill allows brokers to advertise real

property being sold directly by the owner without a listing agreement if the broker

enters into a written agreement with the property owner and the broker prominently

states in any advertisement that the property is for sale by owner, that the property

is being advertised at the property owner's request, and that the property is not

subject to a listing agreement with a listing firm.
