A listing salesperson receives an offer written by a salesperson from another firm. The offer is poorly written with many cross-outs and questionable terms. The listing salesperson SHOULD:

Rejecting the offer outright would be unprofessional and could potentially harm the relationship between the listing salesperson and the offering firm. It is important to allow the seller to make the final decision on any offer presented to them, even if the listing salesperson perceives it as subpar.

Returning the offer with a request for revision undermines the seller's right to make their own decisions. The listing salesperson should not take it upon themselves to dictate terms or quality of offers, as this could be seen as dismissive and uncooperative in the transaction process.

While informing the seller about the offer is essential, advising them against presenting it could be construed as an overstep. The seller should be allowed to evaluate the offer themselves, and it is not the listing salesperson's role to dissuade them from considering any legitimate offers.
