Split Agency (Ohio In-Company Transaction)

In Ohio, split agency is an in-company transaction where one licensee represents the seller and a different licensee in the same brokerage represents the buyer. Each licensee is the exclusive agent of his or her own client and is not a dual agent, but the brokerage and its supervising management-level licensees are treated as dual agents. It is allowed only if the brokerage has procedures preventing licensees who represent one client from accessing the other client's confidential information.
