If a buyer customer inquires about the financial pressure on the seller, what should the salesperson disclose?

The salesperson must disclose any confidential information discussed with the seller.
The salesperson should refer to general information available through public records.
The salesperson cannot reveal specifics but can hint at possible financial difficulties.
Financial pressure details must remain confidential unless the client authorizes such disclosure.
The salesperson should seek legal advice prior to disclosing any seller information.
The salesperson may disclose financial difficulties if it will help finalize the sale.

The correct answer is: Financial pressure details must remain confidential unless the client authorizes such disclosure.

The best course of action in this scenario is to maintain the confidentiality of the seller's financial situation unless the seller has expressly provided authorization to disclose such information. This principle is grounded in the ethical obligation that salespersons have to protect their clients' private information. The fiduciary duty to the seller requires the salesperson to prioritize the seller's interests and confidentiality, thereby avoiding any potential legal repercussions or breaches of trust associated with disclosing sensitive information without consent. Keeping this confidentiality intact encourages a professional environment and upholds the integrity of the transaction, empowering the seller to make informed decisions regarding their disclosures.
