Agency

In South Dakota, a real estate agent must present all offers to the seller regardless of form. However, the agent may decline to present a written offer that is:

ABelow the listing price by more than 10%
BMade by someone with no pre-approval letter
CConditioned on illegal activities or criminal acts✓ Correct
DSubmitted after only one showing

Explanation

The only legally recognized basis for declining to present an offer is if the offer involves illegal activities. All other offers — regardless of price, terms, or timing — must be presented to the seller as the seller is the decision-maker about what constitutes an acceptable offer.
