Buyer's Brokers and the Duty of Loyalty

Stewart E. Sterk

What obligations does a buyer's broker have to different clients interested in purchasing the same property? When faced with that question in <i>Rivkin v. Century 21 Teran Realty LLC</i>, the Second Circuit certified the question to the New York Court of Appeals. <i>Rivkin</i> answered at least one significant question surrounding the obligations of a buyer's broker, but the Court of Appeals opinion raised new questions whose resolution will await future litigation (or legislation).
