This consumer report is a review of HHB Partners, Inc. with written information more specifically covering Broker/Agent/Partner Denise Guiducci. The time period covers 10/2014 to 1/2015 I found HHB Partners Inc. to place profits over people. Please, be very careful when using this company. Ms. Guiducci is personable; however, this report specifically illustrates problem areas of her responsibilities that the consumer will want to be made aware of for their protection. See below. Loyalty One of the most fundamental fiduciary duties an agent owes to the principal. The duty obligates a real estate broker to act at all times, solely in the best interests of the principal, excluding all other interests, including that of the broker. Grade: F Obedience An agent is obligated to promptly and efficiently obey all lawful instructions of his/her principal that conform to the purpose of the agency relationship. However, the duty does not include an obligation to obey unlawful instructions, such as instructions to not market a property to minorities or to misrepresent the condition of a property. Grade: A Disclosure An agent must disclose to the principal all known relevant and material information that pertains to the scope of the agency. The duty includes any facts affecting the value or desirability of the property, as well as any other relevant information pertaining to the transaction, such as the other party's bargaining position, the identity of all potential purchasers, information concerning the ability or willingness of the buyer to offer a higher price, any intent to subdivide or resell the property for a profit. Grade: A Confidentiality An agent is obligated to safeguard his/her principal's lawful confidences and secrets. Therefore, a real estate broker must keep confidential any information that may weaken a principal's bargaining position. The duty of confidentiality precludes a broker who represents a seller from disclosing to a buyer that the seller can, or must, sell a property below the listed price. Conversely, a broker who represents a buyer is prohibited from disclosing to a seller that the buyer can, or will, pay more than what has been offered for a property. Grade: B Reasonable Care and Diligence An agent is obligated to use reasonable care and diligence when pursuing the principal's affairs. The standard of care expected of a buyer's or seller's real estate broker is that of a competent real estate professional. By reason of his/her license, a broker is considered to have skill and expertise in real estate matters superior to that of the average person. As an agent who represents others in their real estate dealings, a broker or salesperson is under a duty to use superior skill and knowledge while pursuing the principal's affairs. Grade: F Accounting An agent is obligated to account for all money or property that belongs to his/her principal entrusted to that agent. The duty compels a real estate broker to safeguard any money, deeds, or other documents entrusted to them relative to their client's transactions of affairs. Grade: A

Description of Work: Jody was my buyer's agent when I bought a home in hyde park. She was great at listening to what I was looking for in a house and finding properties that fit my needs. She was extremely professional and courteous when dealing with the selling party, which was key in resolving major disagreements I had with the sellers just prior to closing.
