Which of the following may a broker disclose to a prospective purchaser without permission?

The correct answer pertains to a broker's duty to disclose relevant information in a real estate transaction. A broker can disclose why the property is not desirable without seeking the owner's permission because this information relates to the market conditions and the property's characteristics, which can impact a buyer's decision-making process.

In real estate practice, brokers have an ethical obligation to provide potential buyers with truthful information that can affect the property's value or desirability. Disclosing reasons for unappealing aspects of the property is essential for transparency and helps buyers make informed choices.

Other options, however, involve more sensitive information. For example, revealing why the seller must sell could breach confidentiality or harm the seller's negotiating position. Similarly, discussing the owner's acceptable price or what they originally paid for the property could also negatively impact negotiations and the owner's privacy. These aspects require explicit permission from the seller to ensure that a broker does not overstep their professional boundaries or the trust placed in them by the client.
