Agency
In Louisiana, a listing agent who discovers during a property showing that the property has a serious undisclosed structural problem must:
AContinue showing without mentioning it
BImmediately disclose this known material defect to prospective buyers, regardless of the seller's preference✓ Correct
CWait for the seller to disclose it in writing first
DOnly mention it if the buyer specifically inspects that area
Explanation
Discovery of a material defect creates an immediate disclosure obligation to prospective buyers — even if the seller has not yet made the disclosure. The agent's duty of honest dealing and disclosure overrides any preference for non-disclosure.
