According to Idaho law, all real estate consumers are "Customers" unless there is a written and signed representation agreement . A real estate licensee is to provide the following customer level services to everyone:
Perform necessary and customary acts to assist you in the purchase or sale of real estate;
Perform these acts in good faith and with honesty and reasonable care;
Properly account for money or other property placed in the licensee's care;
Disclose "adverse material facts" which are known, or should be known, by the licensee. These are facts that would significantly affect the desirability or value of the property to a reasonable person, and facts that indicate to a reasonable person that one of the parties cannot, or will not, complete obligations of the contract.
As a customer, your brokerage will NOT act as your agent and is NOT required to promote your best interests or keep your bargaining information confidential.
For this reason, we recommend a real estate consumer become a "Client" by choosing to sign a written representation agreement. Once you've signed a representation agreement, your brokerage and its licensees must act as your "Agent". In addition to the basic customer-level services listed above, your agent is also required to provide the following:
Perform the terms of your agency agreement with skill and care;
Promote your best interests in good faith, honesty, and fair dealing;
