Ohio Real Estate Law & Our Company Policy

At ROOST Real Estate Co., located in the heart of Ohio, we ensure that our clients—whether buying or selling—are fully informed about their rights and our responsibilities under Ohio agency law. We specialize in Buyer Agency, Seller Agency, and Disclosed Dual Agency, offering clear guidance through each process.

First Contact: Our Commitment to Compliance

Under Ohio law, at our first encounter, it is our duty to provide you with our company policy on agency relationships. This is outlined in an informative three-fold brochure detailing the roles and responsibilities associated with each type of agency.

For Buyers

Prior to touring any of our listings, we will present you with our agency brochure. We ask that you sign and date the receipt portion of this brochure, which we keep on file to confirm our compliance with Ohio’s legal requirements for licensed sales agents and brokers.

For Sellers

At your first appointment with us, typically a pre-listing meeting, we go over our agency brochure in detail. We ask for a signed receipt to ensure you have received and understand our policy, which, importantly, does not obligate you to engage our services.

Understanding the Receipt

Receiving and signing the receipt of our agency brochure signifies understanding of the provided information—it does not obligate you to employ ROOST Real Estate Co. for any services..

Buyer Agency Explained

When acting as your buyer’s agent, our focus is to assist you in finding the perfect home at your preferred price, with terms that benefit you. Our commitment is solely to your interests.

Seller Agency Explained

Our seller agency role is dedicated to helping you effectively market and sell your property at your desired price and under favorable terms, always prioritizing your best interests.

Decoding Disclosed Dual Agency

Disclosed Dual Agency can be a confusing aspect of Ohio real estate transactions. It occurs when the same brokerage, such as ROOST Real Estate Co., represents both the buyer and the seller. Transparency is paramount—we ensure all parties are aware of this relationship. We guarantee fair and honest treatment to both parties and disclose all necessary information about the property.

Conclusion: Clarity and Support

Navigating Ohio agency law can be complex, but our team at ROOST Real Estate Co. is dedicated to making it as straightforward as possible.
