Question

A real estate licensee was representing a buyer. At their first meeting, the buyer explained that he planned to operate a dog grooming business out of any house he bought. The licensee did not check the local zoning ordinances to determine in which parts of town such a business could be conducted. Which agency duty did the licensee violate?

Answer 1

Answer:

The Duty of Care has been violated

Explanation:

There are six common law fiduciary duties which the investor and buyer must consider before he go ahead and these are:

1. Care
2. Obligation
3. Loyalty
4. Disclosure
5. Accounting
6. Confidentiality

The licensee didn't checked the local zoning ordinance for dog grooming which means first principle "Care" has been violated here because the licensee doesn't bother to see if it might affect the normal life of the people around his business.
