CACI No. 4107
Duty of Disclosure by Real Estate Broker to Client
As a fiduciary, a real estate broker must disclose to the broker’s client
all material information that the broker knows or could reasonably
obtain regarding the property or relating to the transaction.
The facts that a broker must learn, and the advice and counsel required
of the broker, depend on the facts of the transaction, the knowledge and
experience of the client, the questions asked by the client, the nature of
the property, and the terms of sale. Brokers must place themselves in the
position of their clients and consider the type of information required for
the client to make a well-informed decision.
[A real estate broker cannot accept information received from another
person, such as the seller, as being true, and transmit it to the broker’s
client without either verifying the information or disclosing to the client
that the information has not been verified.]
