M a n a g er s' C or n er A Substantial Portion of Legal Issues We See are Caused by Breach of Fiduciary Duty Breach of fiduciary duties is completely avoidable. Take the first step. Know clearly what your fiduciary duties are as they are defined by the National Association of Realtors and Michigan Association of Realtors. Loyalty: ?Thisduty obligatesa real estate broker to act at all timessolely in the best interest of hisprincipal to the exclusion of all other interests, includingthe broker?sown self-interest.? The idea is loyalty is best demonstrated when the agent avoids any conflicts of interest that might compromise the interest of the principal. Confidentiality: ?An agent is obligated to safeguard his principals?confidence and secrets? When acting as an agent of the principal, information gathered is private. Any information that might weaken the principals' position on price, terms or timing are prohibited from being shared. There is one exception to this duty. Material facts concerning the condition of the property cannot be withheld from the buyer. Disclosure: ?An agent is obligated to disclose to his principal all relevant and material information that the agent knowsand that pertainsto the scope of agency.? The duty of disclosure obligates the agent to reveal to their principal details that are discovered about the other party that may benefit them. The exception to this duty is when practicing dual agency or some other form of limited agency. Obedience: ?An agent is obligated to obey promptly and efficiently all lawful instructions of his or her principal.?
Contributed by: Joe Peoples
Obedience in this case is limited to the scope defined in the listing and/or buyer agency contracts. This duty does not apply to any unlawful instructions.
Reasonable Care and Diligence: ?The standard of care expected of a real estate broker representing a seller or buyer is that of a competent real estate professional.? "By reason of his license, a real estate broker is deemed to have skill and expertise in real estate matters superior to that of the average person.? ?This duty includes an obligation to affirmatively discover facts relating to his principal?s affairs that a reasonable and prudent real estate broker would be expected to investigate.? Accounting: ?An agent is obligated to account for all money or property belonging to his principal that isentrusted to him or her? We are expected to safeguard any money, deeds, and other documentsrelated to the transaction.
Avoid breaching your fiduciary dutiesby memorizing them.

A g en t R ev i ew s Testimonials from Listen360 10/ 10 I was very fortunate to have her as my realtor. Just as when my friend introduced her, she said Judie is a trustworthy realtor, I would refer Judy to others for the same reason. She was always professional, accurate, and tried to think on my side. Advice from her long experience has been invaluable. -Jungeun Lee
Judie W u North Office 10/ 10 Rick Jarzembowski used his forty years of real estate experience to anticipate the needs of the prospective buyer and was attentive to details of the home that could be highlighted and prominently displayed to enhance the value of the home.
