This section defines key real-estate agency terms, including broker, client, licensee, and confidential information.
A licensee in a real estate transaction is treated as representing the person he works with as a designated agent, unless there is a written agreement for a different relationship or the licensee is doing only ministerial acts.
A licensee representing a client must follow the brokerage agreement, promote the client’s best interests, and use reasonable skill and care.
Licensees must treat customers honestly and fairly. They may help a customer with ministerial acts when representing a client in a real estate transaction, and they are not liable for false information from the client or the client’s agent if they did not know it was false.
After a brokerage agreement ends, the broker and affiliated licensees still must account for transaction money/property and keep confidential information confidential, unless a written agreement provides otherwise.
Paying a broker, or promising to pay a broker, does not by itself determine whether an agency relationship exists.
A licensee may act as a dual agent only with informed written consent from all clients, and must not disclose certain confidential or price information while doing so.
Subagency may be created only by written agreement, and a licensee is not treated as a subagent just because the broker belongs to or is affiliated with a multiple listing service or similar information source.
