A buyer tells the seller's broker that they want to offer $80,000 for a home listed at $120,000. They ask the broker to draft the offer as the transactional licensee and the broker agrees. The broker MUST:

While a broker can provide guidance on market conditions, they cannot refuse to present an offer based solely on its perceived reasonableness. It is the buyer's prerogative to determine the terms of their offer, regardless of the listing price, and the broker must honor that request by presenting it.

Presenting an offer verbally is insufficient in real estate transactions as it lacks the necessary documentation that protects all parties involved. Offers must be presented in writing to maintain a clear record and to fulfill legal obligations, making this choice inappropriate.

While providing comparables can be a helpful service, the broker cannot coerce or convince the buyer to change their offer. The buyer has the right to submit their offer as they see fit, and the broker's role is to facilitate this process rather than influence the buyer's decisions.
