Explanation
A buyer's agent must present counteroffers promptly and accurately, explain the terms, and advise the buyer on their options (accept, reject, or counter). The agent provides guidance, but the ultimate decision—to accept, reject, or counter—rests with the buyer. The agent cannot make decisions on the buyer's behalf without authorization.
