Update on Horiike v. Coldwell Banker

In a unanimous decision, the California Supreme Court granted review of Horiike v. Coldwell Banker, S218734.  The appellate court upheld the decision of the trial court that two different salespersons within the same brokerage, one representing the seller and one the buyer, were dual agents, and that the seller’s agent owed fiduciary duties to the buyer.

DP&F will continue to monitor this case as it moves through the briefing and argument stages to final decision.
