California Codes, Civil Code - CIV, Division 3 — Obligations, Part 4 — Obligations Arising from Particular Transactions, Title 6 — Service, Chapter 3 — Service Without Employment, Article 2 — Duty to Prospective Purchaser of Real Property, Section 2079.19
The payment of compensation or the obligation to pay compensation to an agent by the seller or buyer is not necessarily determinative of a particular agency relationship between an agent and the seller or buyer. A listing agent and a selling agent may agree to share any compensation or commission paid, or any right to any compensation or commission for which an obligation arises as the result of a real estate transaction, and the terms of any such agreement shall not necessarily be determinative of a particular relationship.
Notes
Establishes that who pays, or is obligated to pay, an agent's compensation does not necessarily determine the agency relationship between the agent and seller or buyer. Allows listing and selling agents to share compensation or commission rights, while providing that the terms of their compensation-sharing agreement likewise do not necessarily determine their agency relationship.
