A transaction broker learns that the seller is willing to accept $10,000 less than the listed price. The buyer asks the transaction broker what the seller might accept. How should the transaction broker respond?

Correct Answer

C) Refuse to answer and suggest the buyer make their best offer

Transaction brokers cannot disclose confidential information that would advantage one party over another. They should remain neutral and suggest the buyer make their best offer. Disclosing the seller's position or suggesting specific amounts would violate the duty of limited representation.

A
Disclose the seller's willingness to accept less
B
Suggest the buyer offer $10,000 less than asking price
C
Refuse to answer and suggest the buyer make their best offer
