Unrepresented Buyer Disclosure

07 · What this form is

A disclosure used when a buyer chooses not to be represented

The Unrepresented Buyer Disclosure is a disclosure form used in an Arizona residential transaction when a buyer chooses not to be represented by their own buyer's broker or agent. Through it, the buyer acknowledges they understand that the seller's agent and broker represent the seller and not the buyer. Its purpose is to make the representation status clear from the start.

08 · When it commonly arises

At the start of a transaction with an unrepresented buyer

This disclosure commonly arises at the start of a transaction when an unrepresented buyer makes an offer or begins working with the seller's side. It comes up early so that everyone understands the buyer is proceeding without their own buyer's broker.

09 · General subjects it covers

Representation status, at a high level

At a high level, the disclosure addresses that the seller's agent does not represent the buyer, the buyer's right to hire their own buyer's broker, and the buyer's election to proceed unrepresented. This form is about representation status, not compensation. The exact wording is set in the document itself.

• How buyer-broker compensation works if you later decide to hire your own buyer's broker.
