Which type of broker does NOT require a fiduciary capacity in a real estate transaction?

  1. Buyer's agent

  2. Seller's agent

  3. Transactional broker

  4. Sub-agent

The correct answer is: Transactional broker

A transactional broker does not require a fiduciary capacity because they do not represent either the buyer or seller exclusively. They simply facilitate the transaction, without any obligation to advocate for one party over the other. Both a buyer's agent and a seller's agent have a fiduciary responsibility to their respective clients, and a sub-agent has a fiduciary responsibility to the original agent and their client.
