The "law of agency" is the most important brandi of the law with which Real Estate practitioners come in contact. When someone acts on behalf of another party, he or she is legally considered to be an extension of that party. As that party's "agent", he or she is obligated to look after the best interests of that person (known as the "client" or "principal") and to obey all lawful instructions of the client. In the residential real estate market place, the client is very often, (but not always), the Vendor and the Purchaser is the customer. Agents owe principals or clients their primary allegiance, but it is to be stressed and understood, that agents owe third parties (eg. customers) the ethical duty to be honest, the legal duty not to misrepresent and to exercise due care when offering advice or answering questions. There are a number of different agent/clicnt/customcr relationships that exist in the complex world of business, (Real Estate included), but all work on the same principle. As of December 31, 1994 it will be mandatory for Realtors to fully disclose, in writing, to all parties of a transaction, the exact nature of the agency relationship that exists and the nature of the service that the member will be providing to the client, the customer, and any other party lo the transaction.
