If the seller's agent is truly working for the seller, then their obligation is to the seller to be confidential about the seller's personal situation. Please remember a seller's status as to whether they are facing foreclosure or not, can change at any time. It is not the responsibility of the listing agent to keep the public informed of the financial condition of a seller. Their fiduciary responsibility is to the seller in their exclusive right to list contract. If the home indeed is in foreclosure then the bank is your seller. - Wed Oct 21 2009, 08:00
