Explanation

In Idaho, an agent's duty to maintain the confidentiality of their principal's information survives the termination of the agency relationship — including after closing. An agent who previously represented a seller should not later use or disclose that client's confidential negotiating position or motivation, even when representing a buyer in a subsequent transaction involving the same client.
