Explanation
If a Pennsylvania licensee has a personal interest in a property — they own it, have a financial stake, or have a relationship with the seller — they must disclose this conflict of interest to their buyer client. The duty of loyalty requires placing the client's interests first, and undisclosed conflicts undermine this duty.
