Real estate agents are fiduciaries. As such they have the duty to clients to provide the highest possible standard of care, place the client’s interests ahead of their own and to, in all ways, act in the client’s best interests.

I remember when I was studying this subject and how serious I took everything. After decades in this business, common sense, customer service and professional conduct win the day. To answer your question: Fiduciary is another word for personal trust which to me if applied to all aspects of the human being would make a better world. The legal definition is to act with best interests for another party. You getting licensed is contingent upon you agreeing to do so. I do it because it is the right thing to do
