ALASKA REAL ESTATE COMMISSION

CONSUMER PAMPHLET

About This Pamphlet:

In Alaska, a Real Estate Licensee is required by law to provide this pamphlet outlining the duties of a real estate licensee.

After you have read the information contained in this pamphlet, please acknowledge receipt by signing page 2 and return it

to the real estate licensee who provided it to you. Your cooperation is appreciated.

There are four different types of relationships established by Alaska Real Estate Law:

Specific Assistance - Licensees owes "Duties owed by a Licensee in all Relationships" as described in this

pamphlet.

Representation - Licensee owes "Duties owed by a Licensee when Representing a Party" as described in this

pamphlet.

Designated Licensee - This occurs when a Licensee represents or provides specific assistance to a party to a

transaction and another Licensee within the same company represents or provides specific assistance to the other

party in the same transaction.

Neutral Licensee - This occurs when a Licensee does not represent either party but provides specific assistance to

both parties in the same transaction. The parties must authorize the Neutral Licensee relationship by signing the

"Waiver of Right to be Represented" form.

Duties owed by a Licensee in all Relationships:

Exercise reasonable skill and care;

Deal honestly and fairly;

Present all written communications in a timely manner;

Disclose all material information regarding the physical condition of a property;

Account for all money and property received.

Duties owed by a Licensee when Representing a Party:

Duties owed by Licensee in all relationships listed above;

Not knowingly do anything that is adverse or detrimental to your interest;

Disclose all conflicts of interest to you in a timely manner;

If a matter is outside their area of expertise, advise you to seek expert advice;

Not disclose confidential information even after the relationship ends, from or about you without written permission,

except under a subpoena or court order;

Make a good faith and continuous effort to accomplish your real estate goals. However, once you have entered into

a specific real estate transaction agreement, their efforts refocus on its successful completion.

Your Real Estate Licensee may also work with a variety of other clients (they represent) and customers (they provide

specific assistance to) in different working relationships. In those situations, representing or providing specific assistance to

other sellers, buyers, lessors, and lessees does not create a conflict of interest while working with you, or within the duties

mentioned above.

Occasionally, as a Seller or Lessor, a situation may arise that your Real Estate Licensee also is representing another client

(Buyer or Lessee) Who then becomes interested in your property - or vice versa.

Prior to showing the property, the Real Estate Licensee must obtain a written approval to be a Neutral Licensee for both

parties. A Licensee may not show property as a neutral licensee without obtaining your written consent entitled "Waiver of

Right to be Represented" and it will restate the duties outlined above and additional ones owed by your Real Estate

Licensee. Alaska real estate law allows, but does not require, you to Preauthorize a Licensee to be a "Neutral Licensee."

Having a different designated Licensee working for a seller or lessor and for the buyer or lessee in the same real estate

transaction does not create dual agency or a conflict of interest for the real estate broker or for a Licensee employed by the

same real estate broker.

WAIVER OF RIGHT TO BE REPRESENTED

About this Form:

In Alaska, Real Estate Licensees are required by law to provide this document, in conjunction with the "Consumer

Pamphlet," outlining the duties of a real estate licensee when acting in a neutral capacity. After you have read the

information please indicate your approval by signing below and returning it to the licensee you are working with. Your

cooperation is appreciated.

Duties of a Neutral Licensee:

Occasionally, a Licensee is "Representing" a client (Buyer or Lessee) that has interest in acquiring a property where the

Seller or Lessor is also "Represented" by the same Licensee. Prior to showing the property, the Licensee must obtain

written approval from both parties to change their working relationship from representation to providing specific assistance

in a neutral capacity.

A Licensee in a "Neutral" capacity owes both parties the following duties:

Exercise reasonable skill and care;

Deal honestly and fairly;

Present all written communications in a timely manner;

Disclose all material information regarding physical condition of a property;

Account for all money and property received;

Not knowingly do anything that is adverse or detrimental to your interest;

Disclose all conflicts of interest to you in a timely manner;

If a matter is outside their area of expertise, advise you to seek expert advice;

Not disclose confidential information, even after the relationship ends, from or about you without written

permission, except under a subpoena or court order to include:

> What you are willing to pay or accept for the property

> What terms you are willing to accept, if different that what you have offered

In the event of the situation described above, I hereby acknowledge that I am waiving my right to be "Represented" and

authorize the undersigned Licensee to act in a "Neutral" capacity.
