A designated broker entering into a written transaction brokerage agreement with a party for the listing of property or for the purpose of assisting that person in buying, selling, exchanging, renting, or leasing of real estate may appoint in writing affiliated licensees as designated transaction brokers to the exclusion of all other affiliated licensees. If a designated broker has made an appointment pursuant to this section, an affiliated licensee assisting a party without a written agreement shall be presumed to be a transaction broker to the exclusion of all other affiliated licensees, unless a different brokerage relationship status has been disclosed to or established with that party.

2. A designated broker shall not be considered to be a dual agent or a transaction broker solely because such broker makes an appointment pursuant to this section, except that any licensee who personally represents both the seller and buyer or both the landlord and tenant in a particular transaction shall be a dual agent or a transaction broker and shall be required to comply with the provisions governing dual agents or transaction brokers.
