Agency
A Texas agent is working with a buyer who wants to make a lowball offer on a listed property. The seller's agent says the seller would never accept such a low offer. The buyer's agent should:
AConvince the buyer to increase their offer immediately
BPresent the offer as instructed by the buyer while advising the buyer of market conditions✓ Correct
CNot submit the offer since it will likely be rejected
DContact TREC to mediate
Explanation
A buyer's agent must follow the buyer's lawful instructions and submit offers the buyer requests. The agent should inform the buyer about market conditions and the likelihood of acceptance, but ultimately must present the offer if the buyer directs them to. The seller's agent's prediction is not a valid reason to refuse to submit an offer.
