Agency
In Maine, an agent's fiduciary duty of 'loyalty' to a seller means the agent must:
AAlways recommend the highest offer regardless of terms
BPut the seller's interests ahead of the agent's own interests and all others except the law✓ Correct
CIgnore environmental disclosure requirements to benefit the seller
DAccept all offers on the seller's behalf
Explanation
Loyalty requires the agent to put the client's (seller's) interests first, above the agent's own interests. However, loyalty does not require illegal actions — the agent must still comply with Maine law, including disclosure requirements.
