Who is described as a nonagent in a real estate transaction?

• A. Cooperating broker
• B. Single agency
• C. Nonagent
• D. Express agency

Answer: (C)

In real estate, a nonagent is someone who does not represent either party in the transaction. They stay neutral and can assist with tasks like paperwork, scheduling, and coordinating communications, but they do not owe fiduciary duties or advocacy to either buyer or seller. This is why the person described fits as the nonagent: they’re serving as a neutral facilitator rather than representing a party.

The other options involve representing one side or creating an agency relationship. A cooperating broker represents a party in the deal, so they are an agent. A single agency arrangement means representation is limited to one party, not neutrality. Express agency is a formal agreement that creates an agency relationship, which again involves representation, not nonrepresentation.
