The Real Estate Agency Disclosure and Election is a required Arizona form that explains the different types of agency relationships available in a real estate transaction. It defines what it means for an agent to represent a buyer, a seller, or both parties as a disclosed dual agent.

Before an agent can work with you, Arizona law requires that you receive this disclosure and elect a representation type. This is not a contract to hire the agent — it is a disclosure of how the agent relationship works and what duties the agent owes to each party depending on the role they play.

The three primary agency relationships in Arizona are: Buyer's Agent (representing only the buyer), Seller's Agent (representing only the seller), and Disclosed Dual Agent (representing both parties with written consent). Each carries different duties and limitations.
