Disclosures Regarding The Nature of a Real Estate Agency Relationship. When entering into an agreement with a real estate agent an Owner should from the outset understand what type of agency relationship or representation it has with the agent or agents in the transaction. p) Owner's Agent. An Owner's agent may act as an agent for the Owner only. An Owner's agent or subagent has the following affirmative obligations: To the Owner: A fiduciary duty of utmost care, integrity, honesty, and loyalty in dealings. To a potential buyer/lessee and the Owner: a. Diligent exercise of reasonable skills and care in performance of the agent's duties. b. A duty of honest and fair dealing and good faith. c. A duty to disclose all facts known to the agent materially affecting the value or desirability of the property that are not known to, or within the diligent attention and observation of, the Parties. An agent is not obligated to reveal to either Party any confidential information obtained from the other Party which does not involve the affirmative duties set forth above. (b) Agent Representing Both Parties. A real estate agent, either acting directly or through one or more associate licenses, can legally be the agent of both Parties in a transaction, but only with the knowledge and consent of the Parties. In a dual agency situation, the agent has the following affirmative obligations to both Parties: a. A fiduciary duty of utmost care, integrity, honesty and loyalty in the dealings with either Party. b. Other duties to the Owner as stated above in subparagraph (i). When representing both Parties, an agent may not without the express permission of the respective Party, disclose to the other Party that the Owner will accept rent/purchase price in an amount less than that indicated in the listing or that the buyer/lessee is willing to pay a higher rent/purchase price than that offered. The above duties of the Lee & Associates, as agent, do not relieve Owner from the responsibility to protect its own interests. Owner should carefully read all agreements to assure that they adequately express its understanding of the transaction.
