Agency
A Florida buyer's broker fails to present a written offer to the seller because the broker believes it is too low and will be rejected. This broker has violated:
ANo duty, since the broker was using professional judgment
BThe duty to present all offers in a timely manner✓ Correct
CThe listing broker's instructions
DOnly the buyer's expectations, not any legal duty
Explanation
Florida law and FREC rules require licensees to present all written offers in a timely manner unless instructed otherwise by the seller. A buyer's broker who fails to present an offer (and a listing broker who refuses to present an offer to the seller) violates this duty. The broker's personal opinion about the offer's likelihood of acceptance is irrelevant.
