Please note: That is for a "real estate broker". Most buyers and sellers are dealing with a "real estate agent". Agent is a lower level license, for which that duty does not apply.

That differences in fiduciary duty does not appear to be the case. For example

In California, at least, a real estate agent has both common law and statutory fiduciary and fiduciary-like duties.
