What does confidentiality in a fiduciary relationship imply?

Confidentiality in a fiduciary relationship implies a responsibility to protect the personal affairs of clients. This includes not disclosing sensitive information that could impact the client's interests or privacy. A fiduciary, such as a real estate agent, is entrusted with confidential information about their clients, and part of their professional duty is to ensure that this information is kept private.

In the context of real estate, this can include details about a client's finances, motivations for buying or selling, personal circumstances, and any other information that the client may wish to keep hidden from the public or other parties involved in the transaction. Maintaining this confidentiality is critical for building trust and ensuring that the client's best interests are upheld throughout the real estate process.
