Any real estate broker, or a person licensed under this chapter authorized by such broker, may appoint, at the option of such broker or authorized person, one or more designated seller agents as additional agents for a seller or landlord or a designated buyer agent as an additional agent for a buyer or tenant. Such designation may be made with regard to a particular transaction only. Upon such designation, the responsibility to satisfy the respective duties as a seller's or landlord's agent or as a buyer's or tenant's agent shall be the primary responsibility of the individual so designated, who shall not be deemed a dual agent, except in the case of an individual designated to represent both a seller and buyer in the same transaction. Nothing in this section shall be construed to prohibit other forms of agency relationships allowed by law.
