Agency Disclosure Brochure (Idaho)

The Commission-approved brochure that, under Idaho Code 54-2085, a licensee must give a prospective buyer or seller at the first substantial business contact, keeping a signed and dated receipt. It describes nonagency, agency, limited dual agency, and assigned agents, and states that no representation exists without a written agreement. Under the Brokerage Representation Act, agency can only be created by a separate written document, never orally or by implication, and must be settled no later than preparation of the purchase agreement.

Exam tip
'Brochure first, contract before the offer, confirmation in the offer.' Paying a fee or the agent saying 'I'm your agent' does not create agency in Idaho.
Example
At a Saturday showing, a caller discusses his budget and plans to offer. The agent must hand him the brochure and get a signed receipt; he stays a customer until a written agreement is signed.
