MY COMMITMENT TO YOU
When working with buyers and sellers, whether they are clients (a contractual relationship exists to represent you as a buyer or seller, see Agency Relationships below) or customers, I work with the same high level of ethics and integrity. I believe people deserve to be treated in a kind a fair manner when purchasing a home. I have identified below the duties that I perform as a contracted buyer or seller's agent, where I represent you as a client, and in a non-contractual relationship, where I would work with you as a customer.
I. Seller's Broker: A broker who lists a property, or a salesperson who is licensed to the listing broker, represents the Seller and acts on behalf of the Seller. A broker or salesperson working with a Buyer may also act as a subagent of the Seller, in which case the Buyer is the broker's customer and is not represented by that broker. A Seller's broker owes to the Seller the fiduciary duties described below*. The broker must also disclose to the Buyer any material facts of which the broker is aware that could adversely and significantly affect the Buyer's use or enjoyment of the property. If a broker or salesperson working with a Buyer as a customer is representing the Seller, he or she must act in the Seller(s)' interests and must tell the Seller(s) any information disclosed to him/her. In that case, the Buyer will not be represented and will not receive advice and counsel from the broker or salesperson.
II. Buyer's Broker: A Buyer may enter into an agreement for the broker or salesperson to represent and act on behalf of the Buyer. The broker may represent the Buyer only, and not the Seller, even if s/he is being paid in whole or in part by the Seller. A Buyer's broker owes to the Buyer the fiduciary duties described below*. The broker must disclose to the Buyer any material facts of which the broker is aware that could adversely and significantly affect the Buyer's use or enjoyment of the property.
III. Dual Agency - Broker Representing both Seller and Buyer: Dual agency occurs when one broker or salesperson represents both parties to a transaction, or when two salespersons licensed to the same broker each represent a party to the transaction. Dual agency requires the informed consent of all parties, and means that the broker and salesperson owe the same duties to the Seller and the Buyer. This role limits the level of representation the broker and salespersons can provide, and prohibits them from acting exclusively for either party. In a dual agency, confidential information about price, terms and motivation for pursuing a transaction will be kept confidential unless one party instructs the broker or salesperson in writing to disclose specific information about him or her. Other information will be shared. Dual agents may not advocate for one party to the detriment of the other (If Seller(s) decides not to agree to a dual agency relationship, Seller(s) may give up the opportunity to sell the property to Buyers represented by the broker/salesperson. If Buyer(s) decides not to agree to a dual agency relationship, Buyer(s) may give up the opportunity to purchase properties listed by the broker).
Within the limitations described above, dual agents owe to both Seller and Buyer the fiduciary duties described below*. Dual agents must disclose to Buyers any material Facts of which the broker is aware that could adversely and significantly affect the Buyer's use or enjoyment of the property.
IV. Nonagent: A broker or salesperson may perform services for either party as a nonagent, if that party signs a nonagency services agreement. As a nonagent the broker or salesperson facilitates the transaction, but does not act on behalf of either party. THE NONAGENT BROKER OR SALESPERSON DOES NOT OWE ANY PARTY ANY OF THE FIDUCIARY DUTIES LISTED BELOW, UNLESS THOSE DUTIES ARE INCLUDED IN THE WRITTEN NONAGENCY SERVICES AGREEMENT. The nonagent broker or sales person owes only those duties required by law or contained in the written nonagency services agreement.
*The fiduciary duties mentioned above are listed below and have the following meanings:
Loyalty - broker/salesperson will act only in client(s)' best interest
Obedience - broker/salesperson will carry out all client(s)' lawful instructions
Disclosure - broker/salesperson will disclose to client(s) all material facts of which broker/salesperson has knowledge which might reasonably affect the client's rights and interests
Confidentiality - broker/salesperson will keep client(s)' confidences unless required by law to disclose specific information (such as disclosure of material facts to Buyers)
Reasonable care and skill - broker/salesperson will use reasonable care in performing duties as an agent
Accounting - broker/salesperson will account to client(s)' for all client(s)' money and property received as agent
