The agency disclosure form shall be in

AGENCY RELATIONSHIPS IN REAL ESTATE TRANSACTIONS

Minnesota law requires that early in any relationship, real estate brokers or salespersons
discuss with consumers what type of agency representation or relationship they desire.(1)
The available options are listed below. This is not a contract. This is an agency
disclosure form only. If you desire representation, you must enter into a written
contract according to state law (a listing contract or a buyer representation contract).
Until such time as you choose to enter into a written contract for representation, you
will be treated as a customer and will not receive any representation from the broker or
salesperson. The broker or salesperson will be acting as a Facilitator (see paragraph V
below), unless the broker or salesperson is representing another party as described below.

ACKNOWLEDGMENT: I/We acknowledge that I/We have been presented with the
below-described options. I/We understand that until I/We have signed a representation
contract, I/We are not represented by the broker/salesperson. I/We understand that written
consent is required for a dual agency relationship. THIS IS A DISCLOSURE ONLY, NOT
A CONTRACT FOR REPRESENTATION.

.		.
Signature		Date

Signature		Date

I.

Seller's Broker: A broker who lists a property, or a salesperson who is licensed to
the listing broker, represents the Seller and acts on behalf of the Seller. A Seller's
broker owes to the Seller the fiduciary duties described below.(2) The broker must
also disclose to the Buyer material facts as defined in Minnesota Statutes, section
deleted text begin 82.22deleted text end new text begin 82.68new text end , subdivision deleted text begin 8deleted text end new text begin 3new text end , of which the broker is aware that could adversely and
significantly affect the Buyer's use or enjoyment of the property. If a broker or
salesperson working with a Buyer as a customer is representing the Seller, he or
she must act in the Seller's best interest and must tell the Seller any information
disclosed to him or her, except confidential information acquired in a facilitator
relationship (see paragraph V below). In that case, the Buyer will not be represented
and will not receive advice and counsel from the broker or salesperson.

II.

Subagent: A broker or salesperson who is working with a Buyer but represents the
Seller. In this case, the Buyer is the broker's customer and is not represented by that
broker. If a broker or salesperson working with a Buyer as a customer is representing
the Seller, he or she must act in the Seller's best interest and must tell the Seller
any information that is disclosed to him or her. In that case, the Buyer will not be
represented and will not receive advice and counsel from the broker or salesperson.

III.

Buyer's Broker: A Buyer may enter into an agreement for the broker or salesperson
to represent and act on behalf of the Buyer. The broker may represent the Buyer
only, and not the Seller, even if he or she is being paid in whole or in part by the
Seller. A Buyer's broker owes to the Buyer the fiduciary duties described below.(2)
The broker must disclose to the Buyer material facts as defined in Minnesota
Statutes, section deleted text begin 82.22deleted text end new text begin 82.68new text end , subdivision deleted text begin 8deleted text end new text begin 3new text end , of which the broker is aware that
could adversely and significantly affect the Buyer's use or enjoyment of the property.
If a broker or salesperson working with a Seller as a customer is representing the
Buyer, he or she must act in the Buyer's best interest and must tell the Buyer any
information disclosed to him or her, except confidential information acquired in a
facilitator relationship (see paragraph V below). In that case, the Seller will not be
represented and will not receive advice and counsel from the broker or salesperson.

IV.

Dual Agency-Broker Representing both Seller and Buyer: Dual agency occurs
when one broker or salesperson represents both parties to a transaction, or when two
salespersons licensed to the same broker each represent a party to the transaction.
Dual agency requires the informed consent of all parties, and means that the broker
and salesperson owe the same duties to the Seller and the Buyer. This role limits the
level of representation the broker and salespersons can provide, and prohibits them
from acting exclusively for either party. In a dual agency, confidential information
about price, terms, and motivation for pursuing a transaction will be kept confidential
unless one party instructs the broker or salesperson in writing to disclose specific
information about him or her. Other information will be shared. Dual agents may
not advocate for one party to the detriment of the other.(3)

Within the limitations described above, dual agents owe to both Seller and Buyer the
fiduciary duties described below.(2) Dual agents must disclose to Buyers material
facts as defined in Minnesota Statutes, section deleted text begin 82.22deleted text end new text begin 82.68new text end , subdivision deleted text begin 8deleted text end new text begin 3new text end , of
which the broker is aware that could adversely and significantly affect the Buyer's
use or enjoyment of the property.

V.

Facilitator: A broker or salesperson who performs services for a Buyer, a Seller, or
both but does not represent either in a fiduciary capacity as a Buyer's Broker, Seller's
Broker, or Dual Agent. THE FACILITATOR BROKER OR SALESPERSON
DOES NOT OWE ANY PARTY ANY OF THE FIDUCIARY DUTIES LISTED
BELOW, EXCEPT CONFIDENTIALITY, UNLESS THOSE DUTIES ARE
INCLUDED IN A WRITTEN FACILITATOR SERVICES AGREEMENT. The
facilitator broker or salesperson owes the duty of confidentiality to the party but
owes no other duty to the party except those duties required by law or contained in
a written facilitator services agreement, if any. In the event a facilitator broker or
salesperson, working with a Buyer, shows a property listed by the facilitator broker
or salesperson, then the facilitator broker or salesperson must act as a Seller's Broker
(see paragraph I above). In the event a facilitator broker or salesperson, working
with a Seller, accepts a showing of the property by a Buyer being represented by the
facilitator broker or salesperson, then the facilitator broker or salesperson must act
as a Buyer's Broker (see paragraph III above).

.

(1) This disclosure is required by law in any transaction involving property occupied
or intended to be occupied by one to four families as their residence.

(2) The fiduciary duties mentioned above are listed below and have the following
meanings:

Loyalty-broker/salesperson will act only in client(s)' best interest.

Obedience-broker/salesperson will carry out all client(s)' lawful instructions.

Disclosure-broker/salesperson will disclose to client(s) all material facts of which
broker/salesperson has knowledge which might reasonably affect the client's use and
enjoyment of the property.

Confidentiality-broker/salesperson will keep client(s)' confidences unless required
by law to disclose specific information (such as disclosure of material facts to Buyers).

Reasonable Care-broker/salesperson will use reasonable care in performing duties as
an agent.

Accounting-broker/salesperson will account to client(s) for all client(s)' money
and property received as agent.

(3) If Seller(s) decides not to agree to a dual agency relationship, Seller(s) may give
up the opportunity to sell the property to Buyers represented by the broker/salesperson.
If Buyer(s) decides not to agree to a dual agency relationship, Buyer(s) may give up the
opportunity to purchase properties listed by the broker.

Subdivision 1.

Tax accounts assigned.

(a) Any person that contracts with a
taxpaying employer to have that person obtain the taxpaying employer's workforce and
provide workers to the taxpaying employer for a fee is, as of the effective date of the
contract, assigned for the duration of the contract the taxpaying employer's account under
section 268.045. That tax account must be maintained by the person separate and distinct
from every other tax account held by the person and identified in a manner prescribed by
the commissioner. The tax account is, for the duration of the contract, considered that
person's account for all purposes of this chapter. The workers obtained from the taxpaying
employer and any other workers provided by that person to the taxpaying employer,
including officers of the taxpaying employer as defined in section 268.035, subdivision
20, clause deleted text begin (28)deleted text end new text begin (29)new text end , whose wages paid by the person are considered paid in covered

on the wage detail report under that tax account, and that person must pay any taxes due at
the tax rate computed for that account under section 268.051, subdivision 2.

(b) Any workers of the taxpaying employer who are not covered by the contract
under paragraph (a) must be reported by the taxpaying employer as a separate unit on the
wage detail report under the tax account assigned under paragraph (a). Taxes and any
other amounts due on the wages reported by the taxpaying employer under this paragraph
may be paid directly by the taxpaying employer.

(c) If the taxpaying employer that contracts with a person under paragraph (a) does
not have a tax account at the time of the execution of the contract, an account must be
registered for the taxpaying employer under section 268.042 and the new employer tax
rate under section 268.051, subdivision 5, must be assigned. The tax account is then
assigned to the person as provided for in paragraph (a).

(d) A person that contracts with a taxpaying employer under paragraph (a)
must, within 30 calendar days of the execution or termination of a contract, notify the
commissioner by electronic transmission, in a format prescribed by the commissioner,
of that execution or termination. The taxpaying employer's name, the account number
assigned, and any other information required by the commissioner must be provided
by that person.

(e) Any contract subject to paragraph (a) must specifically inform the taxpaying
employer of the assignment of the tax account under this section and the taxpaying
employer's obligation under paragraph (b). If there is a termination of the contract, the tax
account is, as of the date of termination, immediately assigned to the taxpaying employer.

Mortgage foreclosure is a complex process. People may contact you with advice and
offers to help "save" your home.

Remember: It is important that you learn as much as you can about foreclosure and
your situation. Find out about all your options before you make any agreements with
anyone about the foreclosure of your home.

Getting Help

As soon as possible, you should contact your lender at the above number to talk
about things you might be able to do to prevent foreclosure. You should also
consider contacting the foreclosure prevention counselor in your area. A foreclosure
prevention counselor can answer your questions, offer free advice, and help you
create a plan which makes sense for your situation.

Contact the Minnesota Home Ownership Center at 651-659-9336

Minnesota Statutes 2010, section 580.06, subdivision 2, is amended to read:

Subd. 2.

Notice of results of sale required; contents.

(a) Except as provided in
paragraph (c), a person attempting to acquire fee title to the mortgagor's property directly
from the mortgagor following the sheriff's sale and prior to the end of the redemption
period must provide to the mortgagor, by personal delivery three days prior to entering into
an agreement with the mortgagor to acquire title, notice of the results of the foreclosure
as provided under paragraph (b).

(b) The notice required under paragraph (a) must contain the following information:

(1) the date the sale occurred;

(2) the identity of the purchaser and any assignees of the purchaser;

(3) the sheriff's sale price; and

(4) the following statement: "There are very important things you need to know now
that your house has been auctioned at the sheriff's sale:

(i) you have (insert the number of months) to "redeem," which means to pay the
winning bidder the sale price listed above (plus interest and costs) and keep your house;

(ii) whether you can pay off the amount or not, YOU DO NOT HAVE TO MOVE
RIGHT AWAY. YOU CAN KEEP LIVING IN YOUR HOME until the end of this
redemption period;

(iii) read all notices and documents related to the foreclosure of your home carefully!
THE AMOUNT YOU NEED TO PAY THE WINNING BIDDER TO REDEEM YOUR
HOUSE (THE SHERIFF'S SALE PRICE LISTED ABOVE, PLUS INTEREST AND
COSTS) MAY BE LESS THAN THE AMOUNT YOU OWED ON YOUR MORTGAGE
BEFORE THE SHERIFF'S SALE; and

(iv) you can also try to sell your home during this "redemption period." You must sell
it for enough to pay off the winning bidder from the sheriff's sale and pay interest, fees, and
other claims against the property. You can also enter into a "short sale." A short sale is an
agreement in which the lender accepts less than the full amount you owe on the mortgage.

If there is any money left from the sale of the house after all these debts are paid,
you can keep the money.

foreclosure prevention counselor. You can find a mortgage foreclosure prevention

person licensed under chapter 82;

(2) a buyer who offers to buy the mortgagor's property for a purchase price that
meets or exceeds the amount required to be paid by the mortgagor to redeem the property,
unless the buyer or the mortgagor enters into a short sale agreement with the holder of
the sheriff's certificate in which the holder agrees to accept less than the full amount
required to redeem;

(3) a foreclosing lender acquiring the mortgagor's property by a deed in lieu of
foreclosure;

the claimant alleges the property was improperly seized and the plaintiff's interest in the
property seized. Notwithstanding any law to the contrary, an action for the return of
property seized under this section may not be maintained by or on behalf of any person
who has been served with a notice of seizure and forfeiture unless the person has complied
with this subdivision.

(c) If the claimant makes a timely demand for judicial determination under this
subdivision, the appropriate agency must conduct the forfeiture under section 609.531,
