Ethics Case Interpretation
You Be The Judge
| |
Case #2-18: Honest Treatment of All Parties (Revised Case #9-31 May, 1988. Transferred to Article 2 November, 1994. Cross-reference Case #1-2.)
As the exclusive agent of Client A, REALTORŪ B offered Client A's house for sale, advertising it as being located near a bus stop. Prospect C, who explained that his daily schedule made it necessary for him to have a house near the bus stop, was shown Client A's property, liked it, and made a deposit. Two days later REALTORŪ B read a notice that the bus line running near Client A's house was being discontinued. He informed Prospect C of this and Prospect C responded that he was no longer interested in Client C's house since the availability of bus transportation was essential to him. REALTORŪ B informed Client A and recommended that Prospect C's deposit be returned.
Client A reluctantly complied with REALTORŪ B's recommendation, but then complained to the Board of REALTORSŪ that REALTORŪ B had not faithfully protected and promoted his interests; that after Prospect C had expressed his willingness to buy, REALTORŪ B should not have made a disclosure that killed the sale since the point actually was not of major importance. The new bus route, he showed, would put a stop within six blocks of the property.
In a hearing before a Hearing Panel of the Board's Professional Standards Committee, REALTORŪ B explained that in advertising Client A's property, the fact that a bus stop was less than a block from the property had been prominently featured. He also made the point that Prospect C, in consulting with him, had emphasized that Prospect C's physical disability necessitated a home near a bus stop. Thus, in his judgment the change in bus routing materially changed the characteristics of the property in the eyes of the prospective buyer, and he felt under his obligation to give honest treatment to all parties in the transaction, that he should inform Prospect C, and that in so doing he was not violating his obligation to his client.
What did the Panel Decide?
