Authorized Relationships DisclosuresSingle_agentMEDIUM

Broker Chen represents buyer Park as a single agent. Park finds a property he likes, but Chen discovers the property has a lien that the seller hasn't disclosed. The seller's agent is unaware of the lien. What should Chen do?

Correct Answer

A) Notify both Park and the seller's agent about the lien

Chen must inform his client Park about the lien as part of his fiduciary duty, and should also notify the seller's agent since liens are material facts that affect the transaction. This protects his client while maintaining professional standards. Option A fails to address the material fact with other parties. Option C bypasses the seller's representation. Option D doesn't address the immediate disclosure issue.

Answer Options
A
Notify both Park and the seller's agent about the lien
B
Inform only Park about the lien and let him decide how to proceed
C
Advise Park to make an offer contingent on clear title
D
Contact the seller directly about the undisclosed lien
