Remember when working with a client the job of a real estate licensee is to advocate, counsel and advise the client. Notice that “make decisions for” is not one of your duties. Real estate licensees find themselves in legal hot water when they take it upon themselves to make decisions for their clients. Your job is to advise your client on the good, bad and ugly and then let them make their own decisions. If you make decisions for your client and the issue turns bad, the first sentence in the complaint or grievance usually reads “My agent told me to do ______.”
Should you make decisions for your Clients?
