Minnesota License Law

A Minnesota broker receives a demand from a seller to withhold a buyer's offer from another buyer's agent because the seller wants to deal only with the listing broker's clients. The broker should:

AFollow the seller's instructions since the seller is the client
BRefuse and present all offers per their fiduciary duty✓ Correct
CHold the offer for 24 hours then present it
DReport the seller to the MLS

Explanation

A Minnesota broker has a fiduciary duty to present all offers to the seller, regardless of whether the broker represents the buyer. A seller cannot instruct a broker to withhold valid offers, as this violates the broker's duties and may violate MLS rules. All offers must be presented promptly unless the seller has previously and specifically directed otherwise.
