Agent Marcus represents the seller of a property in Little Rock. A buyer's agent, Agent Linda, brings her client to tour the property. Which of the following statements correctly describes Marcus's agency disclosure obligation to the buyer during this showing?

Correct Answer

B) Marcus must disclose that he represents the seller to the buyer at the time of the showing

Under Arkansas agency disclosure rules, a listing agent must disclose to all parties—including a buyer represented by another agent—that he or she represents the seller. This disclosure ensures the buyer understands Marcus's loyalties are to the seller, even when the buyer has their own agent present.

Answer Options
A
Marcus has no disclosure obligation to the buyer because Linda is already representing the buyer
B
Marcus must disclose that he represents the seller to the buyer at the time of the showing
C
Marcus must offer dual agency representation to the buyer before the showing begins
D
Marcus must provide the buyer with a written buyer-agency agreement before showing the property
