Prohibiting real estate brokers from marketing residential properties to an exclusive group of prospective buyers or real estate brokers.
SB 6091 prohibits real estate brokers in Washington from marketing residential properties exclusively to a limited group of buyers or brokers, requiring them instead to concurrently market the property to the general public and all other brokers. This applies to brokers representing sellers, with exceptions only if necessary to protect the health or safety of the owner or occupant. The bill amends Washington’s real estate laws (RCW 18.86.031 and 18.86.120) to enforce this requirement, ensuring broader market access for residential properties. It directly affects real estate brokers and sellers who might otherwise restrict marketing to select buyers.
