Two real estate licensees in the same brokerage designated by their broker to represent the buyer and the seller as single agents in the same nonresidential transaction are called:

• A. In-House Transaction
• B. Dual Agency
• C. Transaction Broker
• D. Designated Sales Associates

Answer: (D)

The situation describes designated agency within the same brokerage. Here, the broker assigns two different licensees to represent each party as a separate single agent in the same transaction. Each designated agent owes fiduciary duties to their own client (loyalty, confidentiality, full disclosure, etc.), while the broker coordinates the overall deal. This arrangement avoids the conflicts that can come with one licensee representing both sides (dual agency) and keeps each client’s interests protected.

Other terms don’t fit: an in-house transaction isn’t a recognized representation structure, a transaction broker is a neutral facilitator without fiduciary duties to either side, and dual agency would involve one licensee representing both parties, which isn’t the setup described.
