Dual agency and multiple offers in Kentucky

Not yet confirmed. We haven’t confirmed Kentucky’s statute and form yet. Confirm with your broker before relying on this page.

In Kentucky, dual agency is permitted with written disclosure and both clients’ consent (as reported; we haven’t confirmed the statute yet). A dual agent may share one buyer’s offer terms with another only with the consent of the parties involved, and only as the state’s disclosure rule allows. If you represent a buyer on your own listing, the safest course is to hand the buyer to another agent for the offer round.

The conflict in a multiple-offer situation

When the listing agent also represents one of the buyers, every other buyer will wonder whether that buyer saw something they didn’t. Even with both clients’ consent, a dual agent owes confidentiality to each side and can’t use one buyer’s offer to help another.

Kentucky’s rule on sharing offers still applies to everyone: KREC Guide to Agency Relationships (Form 400) states offers sent to the other party are not confidential unless a prior confidentiality agreement is in place. See the Kentucky disclosure rule →

Designated agency as the alternative

We haven’t confirmed whether Kentucky provides designated agency. Where it isn’t available, the simplest option is for the buyer to work with an agent at another brokerage.
