He is passionate about opening access to high-quality exam preparation resources and helping learners prepare more effectively for professional certification exams. In this episode you will learn: - An intermediary broker with appointments must remain neutral and cannot provide advice to the buyer or seller. - Appointed agents are permitted to provide advice and opinions to the party they are appointed to represent. - Acting as an intermediary requires written consent from both parties, followed by written notice of the appointments. - Confidential information given to an appointed agent is protected and must not be disclosed to the other party or the intermediary broker. - A key exam trap is confusing the neutral role of the broker with the advisory capacity of the appointed agents.
