Broker Sarah enters into a single agent relationship with seller Tom to list his waterfront property in Miami. During the listing period, Sarah's friend mentions she might be interested in buying Tom's property. What must Sarah do before showing the property to her friend?

Correct Answer

B) Disclose the personal relationship to Tom and obtain written consent before proceeding

Correct: Under Florida law, when a single agent has a personal interest or relationship that could affect the transaction, they must disclose this conflict to their principal and obtain written informed consent before proceeding. Why not A: Simply representing the seller doesn't eliminate the need to disclose personal conflicts of interest. Why not C: Termination isn't required if proper disclosure and consent are obtained. Why not D: Referral isn't mandatory if the conflict is properly disclosed and consented to in writing.

Answer Options
A
Nothing special - she can show the property as normal since she represents the seller
B
Disclose the personal relationship to Tom and obtain written consent before proceeding
C
Terminate the single agent relationship with Tom first
D
Refer her friend to another broker to avoid any conflict
