Breach of Fiduciary Duty

In certain cases, real estate agents and brokers owe clients a fiduciary duty. A fiduciary duty requires a real estate professional to put the best interests of their clients ahead of their own interests. This high standard of care reflects the fact that agents and brokers, as compared to their clients, usually possess superior knowledge about real estate, which creates the potential to abuse their position of authority. This is a difficult area that can lead to additional issues when the Broker or the Broker’s employer acts as a “dual agent” for both the buyer and seller. When that happens, they are still required to provide all relevant information to their clients, and it can lead to significant liability for breaching these duties to the buyer.
