In dual agency, the information kept confidential includes which areas?

• A. Price
• B. Motivation
• C. Personal information
• D. All of the above

Answer: (D)

In dual agency, the licensee represents both parties in the same transaction and must protect information that could disadvantage either side if disclosed. Price expectations or minimums are kept confidential because revealing them could weaken bargaining power. Motivation to sell or buy—such as time pressure, need for a quick close, or willingness to consider only certain terms—also remains private to avoid shaping the other party’s negotiations unfairly. Personal information, including financial status or other sensitive details, is protected as well to prevent harm or bias in the process. Since all of these areas are treated as confidential, the option that includes all of the above is the best answer.
