9 What we owe you! Among the standard duties a REALTOR owes a client are to: Perform the terms of the brokerage agreement Promote the client’s best interest by seeking a transaction acceptable to the client. Provide financial accounting. Disclose known material facts about the property or the transaction. Exercise ordinary care Maintain client confidentiality, unless the information is required by law to be disclosed.

10 Standard Seller Representation If you are selling property and sign a listing agreement with a REALTOR, then the REALTOR and his or her brokerage firm become your agent and you are their client. Salespersons for other companies who are cooperating with the listing tenants may also be your agents. Their goal is to seek a transaction on terms acceptable to you, and they owe you the standard agent duties outlined. A seller’s representative can still provide valuable services to customers – showing the property, preparing and presenting any offers and counteroffers, comparing financing alternatives, and disclosing known adverse material facts about the condition of the property. All agents in transaction must be truthful with all parties, but the seller representative’s highest duty is to the client.
