Agency
When a NC seller instructs their listing broker to keep the listing price confidential, the broker must:
ADisclose the price to all buyers who ask
BHonor the client's instruction to keep it confidential, as it is the client's information✓ Correct
CRefuse to list the property
DReport the client to the NCREC
Explanation
The broker must honor confidentiality instructions from their client. However, the list price is typically publicly advertised — this scenario is unusual but illustrates that client instructions regarding their own information must generally be honored.
