Agency

A NH buyer's agent who has a pre-existing personal relationship with the seller must:

ADecline to represent the buyer due to the relationship
BDisclose the relationship to the buyer so the buyer can make an informed decision about representation✓ Correct
CProceed without disclosure as personal relationships don't affect agency duties
DReport the relationship to NHREC before proceeding

Explanation

A pre-existing personal relationship with the opposing party creates a potential conflict of interest that the agent must disclose to their buyer client. The buyer can then decide whether to continue with that agent or seek independent representation. Full disclosure protects the buyer and the agent.
