you as your agent, in which case they represent you and owe you
the fiduciary duties of loyalty, confidentiality, disclosure,
diligence and care; or with you as a subagent (unless
prohibited by law) of the listing broker, in which case they represent
the seller, and the fiduciary duties are owed to the seller; or
