Q: I’m a broker representing a buyer purchasing a residential property. I want to be a transaction broker for this buyer. I know that I’m no longer required to provide a Transaction Broker Relationship Notice, but I want my buyer to understand what a transaction broker relationship is. Is it illegal to still provide the buyer with a transaction broker relationship notice? 

A: No. the law that required a transaction broker notice to be provided expired on July 1, 2008. However, it would not be a violation if the transaction broker notice were still provided.
