The Fiduciary Relationship And Your Real Estate Purchase

Fiduciary: Wikipedia:

“

A fiduciary is someone who has undertaken to act for and on behalf of another in a particular matter in circumstances which give rise to a relationship of trust and confidence.

”

A fiduciary duty is the highest standard of care at either equity or law. A fiduciary (abbreviation fid) is expected to be extremely loyal to the person to whom he owes the duty (the "principal"): he must not put his personal interests before the duty, and must not profit from his position as a fiduciary, unless the principal consents. The word itself comes originally from the Latin fides, meaning faith, and fiducia, trust.

When a fiduciary duty is imposed, equity requires a stricter standard of behavior than the comparable tortious duty of care at common law. It is said the fiduciary has a duty not to be in a situation where personal interests and fiduciary duty conflict, a duty not to be in a situation where his fiduciary duty conflicts with another fiduciary duty, and a duty not to profit from his fiduciary position without express knowledge and consent. A fiduciary cannot have a conflict of interest. It has been said that fiduciaries must conduct themselves "at a level higher than that trodden by the crowd" and that " the distinguishing or overriding duty of a fiduciary is the obligation of undivided loyalty."

Obviously, the listing agent has a fiduciary responsibility to the owner of the property they've listed.
The Listing Agent has a fiduciary requirement, by law to get "the Best Possible Price" for the property's owner. The Listing Agent, by law, cannot give a Buyer "the Best Possible Price."

When you decide to purchase a home, condo, loft, income or commercial property you deserve to have your own advocate who has your best interests in their heart.
An advocate who has a fiduciary responsibility to get you the best deal.

As the Buyer's Agent, the Stephen Sakai Network will use all the assets of Keller Williams® Realty (we are national and international), the internet, and professional relationships and organizations, to find you the property you've been looking for.
