Under49 Pa. Code § 35.314 (Duties of Dual Agents),a dual agent represents both the buyer and seller in the same transaction and must maintain neutrality by not disclosing confidential information unless required by law.

If the salesperson has knowledge that the sellers are getting divorced, this is considered confidential information that could harm their negotiating position.

Dual agents cannot disclose confidential facts that would disadvantage either party unless both parties agree in writing.

Disclosure of confidential details in a dual agency scenario would be a violation of Pennsylvania real estate law.

Why the other answers are incorrect:

Option B (Sub-Agent of Buyer):Asub-agent of the buyer has a fiduciary duty to the buyer and may disclose information that benefits them.

Option C (Transaction Licensee):Atransaction licensee does not represent either party and may disclose non-confidential information.

Option D (Designated Buyer Agent):Adesignated agent works solely for the buyer and is free to disclose information that benefits them.
