BWork with a prospective buyer or tenant at first substantive contact, regardless of who the broker representsCorrect
COnly when they are acting as a dual agent
DOnly after an offer has been accepted

Why Work with a prospective buyer or tenant at first substantive contact, regardless of who the broker represents Is Correct

Answer B: Work with a prospective buyer or tenant at first substantive contact, regardless of who the broker represents

In North Carolina, Rule 21 NCAC 58A .0104(c) requires that in every real estate sales transaction a broker, at first substantial contact with a prospective buyer or seller, give the person the 'Working with Real Estate Agents' publication, put the broker's name and license number on it, review it, and determine whether the broker will act as that person's agent. If contact is by phone or electronic means, it must be sent within three days. The rule's text names buyers and sellers, not tenants, but this is still the only option matching the first-contact disclosure.
