Kansas: buyer-agreement requirements.

This page lists what Kansas requires, at the state level, before a licensee represents a buyer: who regulates real-estate licensees, whether a written buyer agreement is required by state law or rule, the statute or rule that says so, and whether the state mandates an agency-disclosure form or publishes an approved agreement form.

It is built for broker-owners and transaction coordinators who need the state rule in one place before setting office policy. Read it alongside your brokerage's own forms and your broker of record's guidance — the written-agreement question became a national practice issue in 2024, but the rule that binds you is your state's, and it is the state rule this page cites.

Kansas, field by field.

Regulating authority

Kansas Real Estate Commission (KREC)

Written agreement required by state law

Yes

Statute or rule

K.S.A. 58-30,103 — Kansas Brokerage Relationships in Real Estate Transactions Act. Read at ksrevisor.gov.

Agency disclosure form

Not verified as a separate form. The statute requires the agency agreement itself to address whether the broker or affiliated licensees may act as transaction brokers or designated agents, and to reference the duties set out in K.S.A. 58-30,106, 58-30,107 or 58-30,113. Whether KREC mandates a separate brochure or disclosure form was not verified.

State-approved form available

Notes. 'To establish an agency relationship with a buyer or tenant, a broker shall enter into a written agency agreement with the party to be represented no later than the signing of an offer to purchase or lease.' The statutory deadline is the OFFER. Kansas also runs a transaction-broker concept — settle which relationship a file is in before anyone starts owing agency duties, and put the answer in the agreement.
