BHonest and fair dealing onlyCorrect
CConfidentiality regarding the buyer's finances
DNo duties whatsoever

Why Honest and fair dealing only Is Correct

Answer B: Honest and fair dealing only

A buyer's agent owes full fiduciary duties to the buyer (their client) but owes the seller honest and fair dealing — the duty not to misrepresent or deceive. The buyer's agent does not owe the seller loyalty or confidentiality.

Exam Tip: Agency

Agency questions are among the most tested on the exam. Focus on the difference between client and customer, and memorize the fiduciary duties (OLD CAR). Watch for questions that try to blur the line between a general agent and a special agent.
