Agency
What is 'obedience' as a fiduciary duty of a Nevada real estate agent?
AThe duty to follow all instructions given by the client, including illegal ones
BThe duty to follow all lawful instructions of the client promptly and efficiently, while refusing to follow instructions that are illegal or unethical✓ Correct
CThe duty to obey the broker's instructions above those of the client
DThe duty to comply with all offers submitted by buyers
Explanation
Obedience requires Nevada licensees to follow their client's lawful instructions. If a seller instructs the agent to only show the home on weekends, the agent must comply. However, obedience does not extend to illegal instructions — an agent cannot follow a client's direction to discriminate against buyers based on protected characteristics or to withhold required disclosures. The agent's duty is to lawful client instructions, not blind compliance with unlawful demands.
