Should a transaction broker provide a notice when showing property to buyers?

A transaction broker does not have a fiduciary responsibility to the buyer, which means that the broker's role is more about facilitating the transaction rather than representing either party exclusively. Because of this, the law does not mandate that a transaction broker provide notice to buyers when showing properties, making it not a required practice.

While it might be considered a best practice to maintain clear communication with clients and potential buyers, the legal framework surrounding transaction brokers doesn't impose an obligation to provide notice in every situation. This is in contrast to agents who represent a client with fiduciary duties, where more formal disclosure would typically be necessary.

The other options suggest varying degrees of obligation to provide notice. For instance, asserting that notice is required at all times conflicts with the unique nature of a transaction broker's role, while saying it is only required upon the buyer's request or solely for commercial properties further reflects a misunderstanding of the general obligations of transaction brokers. In reality, transaction brokers maintain neutrality, and notification is not a mandatory requirement.
