CReport only to MREC without disclosing to the buyer
DStop showing all properties with undisclosed defects
Explanation
Mississippi licensees have an affirmative duty to disclose known material facts to all parties, including facts the seller may not have authorized disclosing. Significant water damage is a material defect. The duty to disclose material facts to prospective buyers overrides confidentiality obligations regarding property condition.
