License Disclosure Required: What Oregon Agents Must Know When Selling Their Own Property

Remember, when a real estate agent is buying or selling their own property, the Oregon Real Estate Agency’s rules require the agent to disclose their licensed status across all advertising and in the first written agreement. This rule also applies if a business entity is the buyer or seller and the agent owns more than 5% of the entity, but only if the agent participates in negotiations concerning the transaction.

All comments and responses from OREF or its staff, managers, and volunteers are non-legal opinions made for general purposes. Each Forms subscriber must rely solely upon their Principal broker or personal legal counsel for specific advice and instruction. You and your client should independently confirm that the Form(s) you use are legally suitable for the purposes intended and that they are current with respect to all laws and regulations.
