Facilitator (New Hampshire)

Under RSA 331-A:2, V-a and 331-A:25-f, an individual licensee who assists one or more parties without being an agent or advocate for any of them. A facilitator must treat all parties honestly, disclose known material conditions before a written offer with no duty to investigate, present offers in a timely manner, and perform ministerial acts. Confidentiality is owed only if the parties agree to it, and a written contract is optional.

Exam tip
A facilitator owes no loyalty and confidentiality only by agreement, but cannot stay silent about a known material defect such as a roof leak.
Example
A licensee helps a FSBO seller and a buyer complete paperwork as facilitator, telling the buyer about a known wet basement before the offer is written.
