Agency
A Connecticut agent is showing a property to a buyer when the seller calls and asks the agent to share the buyer's personal financial information. The agent should:
AShare the information since the seller is the client
BRefuse to disclose—the buyer's financial details are not material facts the seller's agent is required to share✓ Correct
CCheck with the Commission before responding
DAsk the buyer's permission in writing
Explanation
While a seller's agent represents the seller, the buyer's personal financial details (beyond their ability to close) are not material facts about the property. Sharing confidential financial information could harm the buyer and violate fair dealing obligations.
