Authorized Relationships DisclosuresTransaction_brokerHARD

A transaction broker is working with a buyer and seller. The seller mentions they are getting divorced and need to sell quickly. The buyer later asks if there's any reason the seller might be motivated to negotiate. What should the transaction broker do?

Correct Answer

C) Keep the personal information confidential

Personal information about the seller's divorce should remain confidential as it's not a material fact about the property. Transaction brokers must maintain confidentiality of personal information while disclosing material facts about the property itself. Suggesting strategy or asking permission to disclose personal information exceeds their role.

Answer Options
A
Tell the buyer about the divorce situation
B
Suggest the buyer make a lower offer without explaining why
C
Keep the personal information confidential
D
Ask the seller's permission to disclose the information
