The seller's SPDS indicates 'no knowledge' of structural issues, but during the transaction, the neighbor mentions seeing foundation repair trucks at the property two years ago. What should the listing agent do?

Correct Answer

C) Question the seller about the neighbor's observation and advise disclosure if accurate

The agent should investigate the neighbor's information with the seller and advise proper disclosure if the information reveals a previously undisclosed condition. This maintains disclosure integrity while verifying information. A is incorrect because agents shouldn't ignore potential material information. B is incorrect because the SPDS shouldn't be updated without confirming the information with the seller. D is incorrect because the agent has a duty to ensure accurate disclosure.

Answer Options
A
Ignore the neighbor's comment since it's hearsay
B
Immediately update the SPDS to reflect possible foundation work
C
Question the seller about the neighbor's observation and advise disclosure if accurate
D
Advise the buyer to investigate further but take no other action
