The buyer’s broker must provide fair treatment to the
seller. Even if his role is not to defend and promote the
interests of the seller as he must do with the buyer,
he must still advise and inform the seller objectively of
any fact that is relevant to the transaction and include
all the conditions pertaining to the seller’s protection
in any transaction proposal.

A few examples
The buyer’s broker may not ask a seller who is not
represented by a broker to sign a Brokerage contract
with him, because he is already representing the
buyer. By doing so, he would voluntarily place himself
in a conflict of interest.
When the seller is represented, the buyer’s broker
may not present a Promise to purchase to the seller
in the absence of his broker, except with the broker’s
authorization.
The seller’s broker obligations are listed in the pamphlet
The Seller’s Broker and YOU.
