Agency
When a NH listing agent presents a buyer's offer containing false information about the buyer's financial qualifications, the agent's duty of honesty to the seller requires:
APresenting the offer without comment as it is not the agent's role to verify buyer information
BDisclosing to the seller any known material misrepresentations in the offer✓ Correct
CRejecting the offer without presenting it to the seller
DContacting the buyer's lender directly to verify the information
Explanation
If a listing agent knows that information in a buyer's offer is false or misleading, the duty of honesty to the seller requires disclosure. A seller's decision to accept an offer may depend on the buyer's financial qualifications—knowingly presenting false buyer qualification information would harm the seller.
