Review the question and all answer choices
Deal honestly and fairly
Deal honestly and fairly is a fundamental duty owed by all real estate licensees in Florida, including transaction brokers. This is part of the statutory duties that apply regardless of the agency relationship.
Account for all funds
Account for all funds is a universal duty owed by all real estate licensees in Florida. This involves proper handling and documentation of client funds, deposits, and earnest money, required by state law.
Loyalty
Disclose material facts
Disclose material facts is a duty owed by all licensees in Florida. Transaction brokers must disclose known material facts about the property that could affect the transaction or value, even without a fiduciary relationship.
Why is this correct?
Loyalty is a fiduciary duty owed exclusively by single agents and designated sales associates to their clients. Transaction brokers in Florida do not owe this duty as they serve as neutral facilitators rather than advocates for either party in the transaction.
