AgencyIntermediateAlaska Exam

A real estate licensee in Alaska acts as a 'transaction coordinator' without representing either buyer or seller. What fiduciary duties does the licensee owe?

AFull fiduciary duties to both parties
BLimited duties of honesty, disclosure of known material facts, and fair dealing to both partiesCorrect
CFiduciary duties only to the party who pays the coordinator, which is the standard approach used
DNo duties beyond those required by the licensing law

Why Limited duties of honesty, disclosure of known material facts, and fair dealing to both parties Is Correct

Answer B: Limited duties of honesty, disclosure of known material facts, and fair dealing to both parties

A non-agent transaction coordinator (or facilitator) does not owe fiduciary duties to either party but must provide honesty, fair dealing, and disclosure of known material facts to all parties. This limited agency role avoids the conflicts of full dual agency.

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.
