What recourse does a client have if a licensee breaches their fiduciary duty?

The best course of action for a client whose licensee has breached their fiduciary duty is to sue for damages. This option is significant because fiduciary duty is a legal obligation that requires the agent to act in the best interests of their client. A breach of this duty can lead to financial loss for the client, and suing for damages allows them to seek compensation for any harm suffered as a result of the agent's actions.

It's important to recognize that merely filing a complaint with the real estate board may not provide the client with any financial recovery, as this process is primarily for regulatory purposes rather than for seeking damages. Requesting mediation can be a tool for resolving disputes but may not result in compensation for losses incurred due to the breach. Withdrawing from the agreement is a valid option for the client to consider, but it does not address the financial repercussions of the breach and would not provide any reparative remedy. Thus, suing for damages is the most effective recourse for a client in this situation.
