Thanks for sharing this experience here, Brian. Yes, as you can see above, most of us have run into this variety of sales agent (which is what my own state calls their license). Most try to adhere to their industry’s professional standards. Many are tempted to flex those standards to meet their own style of interpretation.
In attempting to screen information from your report before your client sees it, this particular Realtor would have taken upon herself the personal liability of doing so. You did well to serve your client’s interests directly, but also “saved” this Realtor from blundering into a liability she evidently overlooked.
You might have lost this one as a referring agent in the future, but you might consider discussing InterNACHI’s negligent referral program.
