Which statement describes a duty to clients?

• A. Advertising the property without the client's consent.
• B. Withholding offers from the client.
• C. Performing the terms of the brokerage agreement between the broker and the client.
• D. Representing a different client without disclosure.

Answer: (C)

A broker’s duty to clients is fulfilled by performing the terms of the brokerage agreement between the broker and the client. That agreement lays out what the broker will do and how they will represent the client’s interests. Carrying out those specified terms shows loyalty and diligence to the client, ensuring the contract is honored and the client’s instructions are followed. Advertising without the client’s consent bypasses instructions, withholding offers deprives the client of information and opportunities, and representing another client without disclosure creates a conflict of interest and breaches trust. Thus, performing the terms of the brokerage agreement best describes the duty to clients.
