Kansas Realtor Question
I recently took my Realtor License exam, and came across a question I was hoping someone could clarify for me. I re-made the question the best I could remember....
Question: A licensee gets information of a leak in their clients(the sellers) basement. The seller produces a document showing there is no leak (i think by a professional). The licensee MUST:
A. Keep this information confidential, unless the seller authorizes you to disclose it.
B. Reccomend the client gets it looked at by a different professional.
C. Tell the buyer no matter what.
D. Tell the buyer only if they ask a specific question about it only if they ask specifically about the basement.
I think I got hung up on whats possibly reccomended vs whats realistic.
Having the seller get another opinion is probably a good idea, but no seller would do that if they have already paid a professional to look at it once...
Thanks for any input!
