Fiduciary Duties of a Real Estate Agent:
A real estate broker/agent who becomes an agent of a seller or buyer is deemed to be a fiduciary. Other examples of fiduciaries are trustees, executors, and guardians.  As a fiduciary, a real estate broker/agent is held by law to owe specific duties to his/her client. These specific fiduciary duties include:

Loyalty:  This duty obligates a real estate agent to act at all times, solely in the best interests of their client, excluding all other interests, including their own.  They should never do anything that would weaken the position of their client.

Obedience:  The agent has a duty to promptly and efficiently obey all lawful instructions given by their client.  They cannot exceed the scope of authority given. 

Disclosure:  The agent must disclose all relevant and material information to their client.  This includes any facts affecting the value or desirability of the property or any other information relevant to the transaction.

Reasonable Care and Diligence:  An agent is obligated to use reasonable care and diligence when pursuing the affairs of their clients. The standard of care that should by expected is that of a competent real estate professional.

Confidentiality:  An agent who has a fiduciary duty to a client has a duty to keep all their personal and financial information confidential.

Accounting:  The agent must account for all funds entrusted to them on behalf of their client.
