What kind of acts are considered ministerial tasks in real estate?

Ministerial tasks in real estate refer to routine administrative actions that do not require the exercise of judgment or discretion and are performed to assist a licensed agent. These tasks might include activities such as completing forms, setting appointments, or providing information to clients and other parties, which do not involve any confidential or professional advice or actions that would require a licensee to act in the capacity of a fiduciary.

These tasks are contrasted with complex decision-making or actions that require a fiduciary responsibility, which involve more significant judgment and professional responsibility towards a client. Because ministerial tasks do not require representing the client and do not engage decision-making that affects their interests, they are essential in maintaining operational efficiency within real estate practice but do not constitute the core responsibilities of a licensed agent in terms of client advocacy or representation.
