Arizona rules for licensed agents
What does an Arizona agent have to disclose in writing?
Arizona asks a licensee to tell the other parties in writing, before they enter any binding agreement, about a present or prospective interest or conflict in the transaction. The list includes acting as a principal, a family tie to the buyer or seller and a financial interest beyond the licensee’s compensation, and the duties rule separately covers adverse material facts and written consent to represent more than one party.
Rule text read from the 2026 Law Book of the Arizona Department of Real Estate, azre.gov, read November 1, 2026. Informational, not legal advice.
The duties rule
The rule is R4-28-1101, Licensee Duties, in the Department’s Law Book. Subsection A sets the baseline:
“A licensee owes a fiduciary duty to the client and shall protect and promote the client’s interests. The licensee shall also deal fairly with all other parties to a transaction.”
A conflict or interest, in writing
Subsection E is the one that asks for the conflict disclosure:
“A licensee shall not act directly or indirectly in a transaction without informing the other parties in the transaction, in writing and before the parties enter any binding agreement, of a present or prospective interest or conflict in the transaction”
The subsection then lists four cases that count. Among them:
“Licensee has a license and is acting as a principal”
“Licensee, or a member of the licensee’s immediate family, has a financial interest in the transaction other than the licensee’s receipt of compensation for the real estate services”
The other two cases are a purchaser or seller who is a member of the licensee’s or designated broker’s immediate family, and one who, in the rule’s words, “has ownership or is the employee of the licensee’s employing broker.”
Facts that hurt the price
“A licensee participating in a real estate transaction shall disclose in writing to all other parties any information the licensee possesses that materially or adversely affects the consideration to be paid by any party to the transaction”
Subsection B lists examples: information that the seller or buyer may be unable to perform, any known adverse material fact or defect in the property, and the existence of a lien or encumbrance.
More than one party
Subsection F speaks to representing both sides, or taking pay from both:
“A licensee shall not accept compensation from or represent more than one party to a transaction without the prior written consent of all parties.”
What this page does not settle
The rule does not say how a disclosure is worded or which form carries it, and we did not find how the Department applies subsection E to a post or a message. A licensee who is also the owner has a separate line in the advertising rule; see what Arizona requires in a real estate ad. Ask your designated broker about the form your brokerage uses.
Common questions
Does an Arizona agent have to disclose being a licensed agent in their own deal?
Subsection E lists, among the interests to disclose in writing before a binding agreement, that the licensee has a license and is acting as a principal.
What conflicts does the Arizona duties rule list?
Acting as a principal, a buyer or seller who is a member of the licensee’s or designated broker’s immediate family, a buyer or seller who has ownership or is the employee of the licensee’s employing broker, and a financial interest of the licensee or the licensee’s immediate family beyond compensation for the real estate services.
When does the Arizona disclosure have to be made?
In writing and before the parties enter any binding agreement, according to subsection E.
Can an Arizona agent represent both the buyer and the seller?
Subsection F bars a licensee from accepting compensation from or representing more than one party without the prior written consent of all parties.
Does Listing AutomatEr write a disclosure for an Arizona transaction?
No. The app builds and schedules posts for listings you have permission to market. Arizona conflict disclosure is outside what it does.
Where Listing AutomatEr fits
Listing AutomatEr is a desktop app for Mac and Windows that posts the listings you have permission to market to Facebook Marketplace on a schedule. By default it puts your name on the post as the agent marketing the home and credits the brokerage that holds the listing.
It does not obtain the permission for you, and it does not decide whether a post meets a rule. That stays with you and your broker.
