When the Licensee Is the Principal

When a licensee buys or sells property for themselves (or for a family member, or a business they own or have an interest in), they must disclose this fact to the other party in writing. This is called a principal disclosure. The licensee cannot pretend to be merely an agent when they have a personal financial interest in the transaction.
