Single agent Garcia represents buyer Lee in Key West. Lee mentions he's getting divorced and needs to buy quickly before the decree is final. The seller's agent asks Garcia why Lee seems rushed. What should Garcia do?

Correct Answer

C) Refuse to discuss Lee's motivations

Correct: Garcia must refuse to discuss Lee's motivations as the divorce information is confidential and revealing it could harm Lee's negotiating position. Why not A: Explaining the divorce situation violates confidentiality and could weaken Lee's position. Why not B: Even vague references to 'personal reasons' could prompt further inquiry and compromise confidentiality. Why not D: Suggesting direct contact doesn't protect the confidential information and may signal there's something to discover.

Explain Lee's divorce situation to facilitate understanding
B
State that Lee has personal reasons for the timeline
C
Refuse to discuss Lee's motivations
D
Suggest the seller's agent ask Lee directly
