In the context of fiduciary duties, the duty of care requires agents to:

The duty of care within fiduciary responsibilities emphasizes the agent's obligation to perform due diligence. This duty involves thorough research, analysis of relevant information, and careful consideration of the client's best interests throughout a transaction. By conducting due diligence, agents ensure that they are accurately informed about the property, market conditions, and any potential risks that could affect the client's investment. This comprehensive vigilance helps in making informed decisions and recommendations, ultimately protecting the client's interests in real estate dealings.

While providing expert opinions on market value, negotiating the best price, and maintaining regular communication with clients are also important aspects of a real estate agent's responsibilities, they are more specific actions or practices that emerge from the overarching duty of care. Due diligence lays the groundwork for these actions by ensuring that agents possess the necessary understanding and evidence to effectively advocate for their clients.
