The required form
We haven’t confirmed Oklahoma’s required disclosure form yet. Ask your broker before representing both sides.
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. In Oklahoma that agent can’t be a dual agent at all, so the brokerage must use transaction broker / single-party broker, or the buyer works with another brokerage.
Prior-offer disclosure: Common-law agency abrogated; broker duties set by statute.
Oklahoma’s rule on sharing offers still applies to everyone: No specific rule; allowed with seller consent. See the Oklahoma disclosure rule →
Designated agency as the alternative
Oklahoma doesn’t use designated agency in the same way; transaction broker / single-party broker applies instead. The simplest option in a multiple-offer situation is for the buyer to work with an agent at another brokerage.
