4579 Civil Code section 2079, which requires a listing broker of real estate to make an inspection of the premises and disclose findings to the buyer, does not impose any duty on a real estate licensee other than the listing broker; a real estate licensee representing a buyer in a real estate sales transaction is the buyer's fiduciary and, as such, has a duty to disclose to the buyer all information in the licensee's possession material to the buyer's interests, including information regarding defects in the property.CitationMICHEL v MOORE (Constructive Fraud) 156 CA4 756 [See: CivC 2079; Field v Century 21 63 CA4 18, T/AT 6/98; Loken v Century 21 36 CA4 263, T/AT 8/95; Assilzadeh v CA Federal 82 CA4 399, T/AT 9/00]
