Agency
A Mississippi real estate agent receives a text from a buyer client saying 'I'll pay up to $340,000 for that house.' The agent meets with the seller's agent and should:
ATell the seller's agent the buyer's maximum since it will help close the deal
BKeep the buyer's maximum price strictly confidential — disclosing it would be a serious breach of fiduciary duty✓ Correct
CShare it only if the seller's agent shares the seller's minimum
DInclude it in the written offer
Explanation
A buyer's maximum willingness to pay is among the most sensitive confidential information a buyer's agent holds. Disclosing this to the seller's agent would directly harm the buyer's negotiating position and is a fundamental breach of the fiduciary duty of confidentiality and loyalty.
