Appointed Agency (Maine)

A Maine arrangement in which an agency, through its designated broker, appoints specific affiliated licensees in writing to represent a client to the exclusion of all other licensees in the agency. An appointment does not, by itself, make the agency or designated broker a dual agent, and knowledge is not imputed among the appointed licensees. If a single licensee personally represents both seller and buyer in the same transaction, that licensee is a dual agent and must follow the disclosed dual agency rules.
