AgencyIntermediateArizona Exam

An Arizona seller tells their listing agent they will accept $380,000, though the property is listed at $399,000. The agent must:

AImmediately disclose this to all buyer prospects
BKeep this information confidential as the seller's privileged financial informationCorrect
CDisclose only if directly asked by a buyer
DReport this to the MLS as the true price

Why Keep this information confidential as the seller's privileged financial information Is Correct

Answer B: Keep this information confidential as the seller's privileged financial information

The seller's willingness to accept less than the list price (motivational information) is confidential client information that the agent must keep secret. Disclosing it would violate the duty of confidentiality.

Exam Tip: Agency

Agency questions are among the most tested on the exam. Focus on the difference between client and customer, and memorize the fiduciary duties (OLD CAR). Watch for questions that try to blur the line between a general agent and a special agent.
