What is a listing agent's obligation regarding offers received on a listed property in Idaho?

Correct Answer

B) Present all offers to the seller promptly, regardless of price or terms

Idaho law and Idaho Real Estate Commission (IREC) rules require a listing agent to present all offers to the seller promptly, regardless of price or terms, unless the seller has provided written instructions to the contrary. Withholding or filtering offers violates the agent's fiduciary duty of loyalty and obedience to the seller and can result in disciplinary action by IREC.

B
Present all offers to the seller promptly, regardless of price or terms
C
Rank all offers and present only the top three to the seller
