Authorized Relationships DisclosuresTransaction_brokerHARD

During a transaction, the seller's mortgage company calls the transaction broker asking for details about the buyer's offer and financing. The seller has given verbal permission for the broker to share this information. What should the broker do?

Correct Answer

D) Refer the mortgage company to contact the seller directly

The broker should direct third parties to communicate directly with the appropriate party rather than acting as an intermediary for information sharing, even with permission. This protects both parties and maintains proper communication channels. A is incorrect because third parties should communicate directly with the principals. B is incorrect because even written authorization wouldn't make the broker the appropriate intermediary. C is incorrect because selective information sharing could create liability issues.

Answer Options
A
Provide the requested information since the seller gave permission
B
Require written authorization from the seller before sharing any information
C
Share only the purchase price but not financing details
D
Refer the mortgage company to contact the seller directly
