GLOSSARY TERM GUIDEBuild the complete exam definition
Learn the rule, separate it from the nearest distractor, then apply it to a Georgia fact pattern.
What does Designated agency mean?
Designated agency is a Georgia arrangement in which a broker assigns one affiliated licensee to represent one client and another affiliated licensee to represent the opposing client in the same transaction.
How do you separate the nearest exam answer?
In designated agency, different licensees advocate for different clients. In dual agency, one broker represents both sides and has sharply limited advocacy.
What changes or stays the same in Georgia?
A compliant designation under BRRETA does not automatically make the broker, firm, or other affiliated licensees dual agents. Confidentiality and actual-knowledge rules still apply.
One agent in a firm represents the seller, and the qualifying broker designates another agent in the same firm to represent the buyer. Each designated agent protects that client's confidences.
Same firm does not always mean dual agency. Identify whether separate agents were properly designated.

GLOSSARY TERM GUIDERetrieve the rule under exam conditions
Answer before reading the explanation. Then explain why every distractor belongs to a different term.
In one Georgia firm, agent Rosa represents the seller and the qualifying broker properly designates agent Ken to represent the buyer. Rosa knows the seller will accept less than list. Which statement is correct?
- A
The firm has become a dual agent for both parties
- B
Each agent represents only that agent's own client
- C
Ken is presumed to know what Rosa's seller told her
- D
Both agents must now act only as transaction brokers
With a proper designation, each designated agent represents only that agent's own client, and knowledge is not imputed between them. Ken is not treated as knowing the seller's confidences. The dual agency option reflects the common assumption that same firm always means dual agency, which BRRETA rejects for designated agency.
