Broker Disclosure Form

PURPOSE: This rule implements a statutory requirement that licensees must present agency alternatives to the public using a Broker Disclosure Form prescribed by the Missouri Real Estate Commission.

In any event, a licensee shall provide the party that has not entered into a brokerage relationship as described in section 339.710.5, RSMo, the Broker Disclosure Form upon obtaining any personal or financial information or before the signing of a brokerage service agreement, whichever occurs first. If a landlord’s agent or transaction broker is conducting property management pursuant to 20 CSR 2250-8.200, the unlicensed office personnel may, in their performance of the duties enumerated in section 339.010.5(5)(a)–(e), RSMo, provide a tenant with a written copy of the current Broker Disclosure Form prescribed by the commission on behalf of the landlord’s agent or transaction broker. (2) The brokerage relationship marked as offered on the Broker Disclosure Form shall correspond to the written office policy adopted by the designated broker pursuant to 339.760.1, RSMo.
