Which type of information about a property must agents disclose to potential buyers?

  1. All opinions about the neighborhood

  2. Only factual and material aspects

  3. Personal preferences of the seller

  4. Market trends related to the property

The correct answer is: Only factual and material aspects

The requirement for agents to disclose information about a property revolves around the obligation to provide potential buyers with factual and material aspects that could influence their decision-making. This means that agents must present any relevant information such as the condition of the property, its history, any known defects, and compliance with local regulations. Disclosing factual information ensures transparency and helps buyers make informed choices. In contrast, opinions about the neighborhood, personal preferences of the seller, and market trends, while they may have some relevance to a buyer's overall understanding, do not carry the same legal and ethical obligation for disclosure. Agents are encouraged to focus on objective data that can be verified rather than subjective opinions, which could vary widely among different individuals. This focus on factual information protects both the buyer's interests and the integrity of the real estate profession.
