Agency

ADecline both representations as the dual role creates per se conflicts
BDisclose the dual representation to both buyer and seller roles and obtain informed consent, managing conflicts carefully✓ Correct
CAssign the listing to another agent automatically
DOnly disclose when the contracts are signed
Explanation
Acting as both the buyer's agent on a new purchase and as the listing agent on their home sale creates potential conflicts but is not automatically prohibited. The agent must fully disclose the dual representation to the buyer/seller (the same person in both roles) and manage the agency relationships carefully to protect the client's interests.
