Who must receive a true copy of a brokerage engagement at the time of securing it?

A true copy of a brokerage engagement must be provided to all signers at the time of securing it. This requirement ensures that everyone involved in the agreement has a clear understanding of their responsibilities, rights, and obligations under the terms outlined. By giving a true copy to each signer, the brokerage fosters transparency and helps prevent potential disputes that could arise from misunderstandings about the agreement.

This practice also aligns with best practices in the real estate industry, emphasizing the importance of clear communication and documentation among all parties. When all signers have access to the same information, it promotes accountability and reinforces the trust necessary in real estate transactions.

Other options, such as only providing a copy to the licensee, broker, or simply retaining it in the firm without distribution, do not fulfill the legal and professional standard required in these situations. Engaging all signers in the process makes the transaction more secure and well-informed.
