When an agent is acting for himself/herself - buying direct from a seller, the only disclosure needed is for the license disclosure - and it can be placed on the purchase documents ( the only requirement is that all parties must easily see there is a licensee in the transaction).

The lack of awareness of the risks is easily observed in posts written every day in these forums. 

Quote from @Tim Swierczek: @Meghan McCollum I'd reach out to @Matt Jennison and @Keith Linne.

I’ve been involved in real estate investing for over 30 years, so if you ever have any questions or need guidance, feel free to reach out.

Ty so much for reaching out.

.: Some of you have reached out to me to see if we can connect on zoom or other means to pursue legal options.

Reach out if you need. 

How can he reach out to you to take you up on that offer?

Finished up one bag of popcorn, reaching for the second….

If it were me, I would reach out to other franchisees in your area (perhaps your Development Agent might have some insight...see...I know the Subway lingo and I've done Subways in my banking days).
