Texas Crammer Practice Exam

If a buyer decides to rent instead of buy, can the salesperson show the same properties to another client?

1. Yes, without regard to the previous buyer/client

2. No, they must wait for the buyer to make a decision

3. Only if the buyer consents

4. No, it would breach confidentiality

The correct answer is: Yes, without regard to the previous buyer/client

When a buyer decides to rent instead of buy, the salesperson is not bound to that decision and can indeed show the same properties to other clients. This situation arises because the buyer's choice to rent does not create a binding agreement that prevents the salesperson from renting or showing the property to others. The properties remain available for any potential tenants or buyers, allowing the salesperson to market them effectively. Therefore, the answer correctly recognizes the flexibility in the real estate market, where the buyer's independent decision does not impede the salesperson's ability to engage with other clients regarding the same properties.
