You have been seeking a buyer for a client's property and have submitted two offers that are near list price... A third prospective buyer's agent brings an offer that is several thousand dollars lower... Must you present this offer, and why or why not?

This statement is incorrect because, regardless of an agent's personal opinion on the value of an offer, all offers must be presented to the client. The agent's role is to provide the client with all options, allowing them to determine what is in their best interest.

While a client may express a preference for one offer, the agent is still obligated to present all offers received until a contract is fully executed. Neglecting to present a lower offer could potentially deprive the client of a better opportunity or negotiation leverage.

This choice misinterprets the fiduciary duty. The agent’s primary responsibility lies with the seller, not the prospective buyer. While ethical considerations are important, the legal obligation to present offers is directed towards the client's best interests.
