AAllow direct contact to speed up the transaction
BAdvise all parties that all communications with the buyer should go through the buyer's agent✓ Correct
CWithdraw from the transaction
DReport the listing agent to the Board immediately
Explanation
Once a buyer is represented by an agent, all communications should be directed to the buyer's agent, not the buyer directly. The buyer's agent should communicate this clearly to all parties to maintain proper agency protocol.
