A buyer's agent owes fiduciary duties to the buyer, including obedience to lawful instructions. The agent must NOT disclose the buyer's financial limitations to the seller, as this would breach the duty of confidentiality owed to the buyer-client.

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.
