A seller lists a home with a brokerage company and discloses material defects to the listing salesperson. The salesperson, wanting to provide great service by selling the home quickly, decides that the defects are not significant and excludes the information from the MLS, advertising, and communication with buyer brokers. A buyer, unaware of the defects, purchases the home only to discover the defects six months after closing. Against whom may the buyer have legal recourse?
A) Seller and broker
B) Seller
C) Broker and salesperson
D) Seller and salesperson
Answer: C) Broker and salesperson
The broker is "responsible to the Commission, members of the public, and the broker's clients for all acts and conduct performed under the Act by the broker or by a real estate salesperson associated with or acting for the broker." TRELA protects the seller from liability for the misrepresentation since the seller had disclosed the defects to the agent.
