Agency
A listing agent in Alaska discovers the seller is trying to conceal a history of flooding from buyers. The agent should:
AFollow the seller's instructions since the seller is the agent's client
BWithdraw from the listing if the seller refuses to disclose and the agent cannot avoid participating in the deception✓ Correct
CDisclose only if a buyer asks directly about flooding
DDocument the issue internally but say nothing to buyers
Explanation
An agent cannot participate in or allow client fraud. If a seller directs the agent to conceal material defects, the agent must advise the seller to disclose and, if the seller refuses, consider withdrawing from the listing to avoid complicity in misrepresentation. The agent has independent disclosure duties.
