Seller Thornton is interested in selling his home. After briefly meeting with a salesperson, he allows access to the property, provides information about it (which has been included in an unsigned seller representation), and allows the salesperson to show the property. As such:

  1. An Agency Relationship Has Not Been Established, as a Seller Representation Agreement Has Not Been Signed

  2. The Seller Has Entered into a Seller Representation Agreement with the Salesperson's Brokerage
