AA. Keep this information from the buyer since it was discovered during the seller's property investigation
BB. Disclose the known defect to the buyer immediately✓ Correct
CC. Report the defect to GREC before disclosing to the buyer
DD. Only disclose if the buyer specifically asks about structural issues
Explanation
A buyer's agent has a fiduciary duty to the buyer and must disclose all known material facts that could affect the buyer's decision. A structural defect is a material fact, and non-disclosure would harm the buyer's interests.
