[Broker's Authority and Duties]

Under the provisions of a property management agreement, a property manager has a legal obligation to promote and protect whose interests?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

Under North Carolina law, a property manager acts as a general agent for the property owner and owes fiduciary duties---including loyalty, obedience, accounting, and full disclosure---to the owner. While managers must comply with fair housing and other tenant-related laws, their primary duty is to the owner of the property.

I feel like D) The public is too broad. It's really about the owner.

But what about the tenants? C) The property owner and the tenants could be valid too.

The property owner, no doubt. Tenants' interests are secondary in this case.

Definitely the property owner. Tenants are just renting, the owner's interests come first.

I’m pretty sure it’s A, but I vaguely recall something about responsibilities to the public as well.

I feel like it could be C since a good property manager should balance the needs of both the owner and the tenants, but I’m not confident.

I think the property manager's primary duty is to the property owner, but I’m not entirely sure if they have to consider tenants too.

I've got a good strategy for this. I'll eliminate the options that don't make sense, then choose between the remaining ones. I think A is the safest bet.
