Relating to: changes regarding the laws governing real estate practice. (FE)

AB 456 updates Wisconsin's real estate laws for residential transactions involving properties with one to four dwelling units. It requires real estate licensees to obtain written consent from property owners before sharing listing details with other agents or advertising properties online. The bill also mandates that owners must actively opt-in to public marketing (via a signed disclosure form) rather than having to opt-out, and prohibits licensees from accepting third-party fees without all parties' written agreement. These changes directly affect real estate agents and property owners in residential sales or leasing. The bill passed both chambers in November 2025 and is awaiting the governor's signature.
