When does a salesperson need to inform a seller that they are providing customer service to a buyer?

1. Before showing the property to the buyer

2. Prior to presenting an offer to the seller

3. After the buyer views the property

4. When the buyer submits a deposit

5. If the buyer signs a non-disclosure agreement

6. When advertising the listing

The correct answer is: Prior to presenting an offer to the seller

A salesperson needs to inform a seller that they are providing customer service to a buyer prior to presenting an offer to the seller. This is crucial because it ensures transparency and allows the seller to make informed decisions knowing all the relevant details. By disclosing this information before presenting an offer, the salesperson maintains trust with both parties and upholds ethical standards in the real estate transaction. Options A, C, D, E, and F are incorrect because informing the seller before presenting an offer is the appropriate and necessary timing for disclosing the salesperson's role in providing customer service to a buyer.
