Broker Johnson represents seller Martinez in the sale of a commercial property. During negotiations, the buyer's agent asks Johnson if Martinez would accept $50,000 less than the listed price. Johnson knows Martinez is facing foreclosure and desperately needs to sell quickly. What should Johnson do?

Correct Answer

C) Suggest the buyer make an offer and let Martinez respond

As a single agent, Johnson must maintain client confidentiality and cannot disclose confidential information about Martinez's financial situation.

Option D hints at confidential information.

Answer Options
A
Disclose Martinez's financial situation to help close the deal
B
Refuse to answer and refer all questions to Martinez
C
Suggest the buyer make an offer and let Martinez respond
D
Tell the buyer's agent that Martinez might be flexible on price
