Authorized Relationships DisclosuresTransaction_brokerHARD

A transaction broker learns that the buyer has been pre-approved for a loan amount significantly higher than the purchase price. The seller asks if the buyer can afford more than the offered amount. How should the transaction broker respond?

Correct Answer

A) Keep the buyer's financial information confidential

The buyer's financial information beyond what's necessary for the transaction should remain confidential. Transaction brokers cannot disclose information that would advantage one party or suggest pricing strategies. While the seller could ask directly, the broker should maintain confidentiality.

Answer Options
A
Keep the buyer's financial information confidential
B
Disclose the buyer's pre-approval amount
C
Suggest the seller counter at a higher price
D
Tell the seller to ask the buyer directly
