Hence why we are presumed transaction brokers. All these new rules are VERY FLUID at this point and we are all trying to navigate the changes. Ultimately our job is to help buyers and sellers and make the transaction work for both parties to the transaction.

I don't want my agent to represent buyers, so I will not provide consent for them to be a transaction agent. And, the statute clearly states that they cannot act as a transaction agent without my written consent. I don't know what you mean by "working with a buyer" but they can sell my house without "representing" the buyer. If the buyer wants an agent, they can hire their own.
