Question 1

When does the disclosure have to be in writing?

Accepted Answer

Oklahoma writes this as broker duties rather than agency, so the question at the door is not who you represent but when those duties have to be put in writing. Section 858-355.1 ties that moment to the signature, not to the visit: a broker providing brokerage services to one or both parties has to describe and disclose those duties in writing before the party signs a contract to sell, purchase, lease, option or exchange real estate. The same section adds that a firm providing brokerage services to both parties has to give both of them written notice of that before they sign. Nothing in that section requires you to hand a form to a visitor who is only walking through, so keep the written disclosure with the papers you would use to write an offer and give it to a visitor before they sign anything rather than burying it in the rest of the packet.

Question 2

Can you call an open house visitor afterwards?

Accepted Answer

Oklahoma runs its own do not call registry through the Attorney General, and the exception most follow up calls rely on is the established business relationship. The Attorney General describes that as a relationship formed in the preceding 24 months by a voluntary, two way communication, and says the consumer does not have to buy anything for one to exist because an inquiry is enough. That is what a visitor giving you their number and talking with you at the door looks like, but both halves matter, so record when and how each visitor handed you their details instead of trusting your memory months later, and treat 24 months as a clock that runs out. For anyone on your list you never actually spoke to, check the state registry before you dial.

Question 3

Does a visitor have to sign a buyer agreement first?

Accepted Answer

Oklahoma answered this by statute rather than leaving it to practice. Senate Bill 1217, passed in 2026 and effective November 1, 2026, creates Section 858-355.2 and says a broker is not required to enter into a brokerage agreement with a buyer before showing real estate for purchase, lease, option or exchange. The second half of that same new section lets a managing or proprietor broker require one anyway from the branch brokers, broker associates and sales associates working under them, so your firm policy can be stricter than the statute. Ask your managing broker what the house rule is before your next open house, because that answer, not state law, is what decides whether you need a signature before you walk someone through.

Question 4

What can you repeat about a visitor?

Accepted Answer

Oklahoma has no sign in sheet rule and handles this inside the broker duties instead. Section 858-353 lists keeping confidential information received from a party or prospective party confidential among the mandatory duties a broker owes to all parties in a transaction, and the words prospective party are what reach someone before anything has been signed. The section then names the only information that counts as confidential, and one of the four listed items is the motivating factors of the party or prospective party purchasing, selling, leasing, optioning or exchanging the property. So a visitor telling you they have to be in before the school year starts is not material for your seller recap, even though the fact that they came through is. Write your lead notes as if the visitor could read them.
