A licensee who provides real estate services in a real estate transaction shall
owe all parties to such transaction the following duties, except as provided
otherwise by TCA 62-13-405, in addition to other duties specifically set forth
in the official manual of the Tennessee Real Estate Commission or the rules of
the commission:
-
Diligently exercise reasonable skill and care in providing services to all
parties to the transaction.
-
Disclose to each party to the transaction any adverse facts of which licensee
has actual notice or knowledge.
-
Maintain for each party to a transaction the confidentiality of any
information obtained by a licensee prior to disclosure to all parties of a
written agency or subagency agreement entered into by the licensee to represent
either or both of the parties in a transaction. This duty of confidentiality
extends to any information which the party would reasonably expect to be held
in confidence, except for information which the party has authorized for
disclosure, information required to be disclosed under this part, and
information otherwise required to be disclosed pursuant to this chapter. This
duty survives both the subsequent establishment of an agency relationship and
the closing of the transaction.
-
Provide services to each party to the transaction with honesty and good faith.
-
Disclose to each party to the transaction timely and accurate information
regarding market conditions that might affect such transaction only when such
information is available through public records and when such information is
requested by a party.
-
Timely account for trust fund deposits and all other property received from
any party to the transaction.
-
a. Not engage in self-dealing nor act on behalf of licensee's immediate
family, or on behalf of any other individual, organization, or business entity
in which the licensee has a personal interest without prior disclosure of such
interest and the timely written consent of all parties to the transaction.
b. Not recommend to any party to the transaction the use of services of another
individual, organization or business entity in which the licensee has an
interest or from whom the licensee may receive a referral fee or other
compensation for the referral, other than referrals to other licensees to
provide real estate services under the Tennessee Real Estate Broker License Act
of 1973, without timely disclosing to the party who receives the referral, the
licensee's interest in such referral or the fact that a referral fee may be
received.
Any licensee who acts as an agent in a transaction regulated by the Tennessee
Real Estate Broker License Act of 1973 owes to such licensee's client in that
transaction the following duties, to:
-
Obey all lawful instructions of the client when such instructions are within
the scope of the agency agreement between licensee and licensee's client.
-
Be loyal to the interests of the client. A licensee must place the interests
of the client before all others in negotiation of a transaction and in other
activities, except where such loyalty duty would violate licensee's duties to a
customer under TCA 62-13-402 or a licensee's duties to another client in a dual
agency.
