A lot of people think fiduciary responsibilities only apply to Realtors® or members of NAR.
They don’t.
These duties apply to all licensed real estate agents.
Part of why agents are so important in real estate transactions is because they add a layer of accountability. They help guide the process, protect their clients, validate information, and advocate for their client’s best interests throughout the transaction.
That means your agent is legally and ethically obligated to act with:
• Loyalty
• Confidentiality
• Disclosure
• Accountability
• Reasonable care
In a market that’s becoming increasingly complicated, understanding what your agent actually owes you matters more than ever.
