What should Salesperson Waller do if a buyer client declines to include a home inspection condition?

1. Encourage the buyer to wait until after acceptance to include it.

2. Have the buyer confirm the declined recommendation in writing.

3. Ignore the buyer's instructions and include the condition anyway.

4. Investigate the issue himself without involving an inspector.

5. Only follow the buyer client's instructions verbally.

6. Suggest that the buyer reconsider including the condition.

The correct answer is: Have the buyer confirm the declined recommendation in writing.

If a buyer client declines to include a home inspection condition, Salesperson Waller should have the buyer confirm the declined recommendation in writing. This is the correct approach because having the buyer confirm their decision in writing ensures there is a clear record of the client's instructions. This helps protect Salesperson Waller in case any issues arise in the future related to the decision to decline a home inspection. Confirmation in writing serves as documentation and can prevent any misunderstandings or disputes that may arise later on. Options A, C, D, E, and F are incorrect: - Option A suggests encouraging the buyer to wait until after acceptance to include the condition, which may not be in the best interest of the buyer's protection. - Option C advises ignoring the buyer's instructions, which goes against the principle of representing the client's best interests. - Option D suggests investigating the issue without involving an inspector, which may not provide a professional and thorough assessment of the property. - Option E recommends only following the buyer client's instructions verbally, which leaves room for miscommunication and misunderstandings. - Option F proposes suggesting that the buyer reconsider including the condition, which may not align with the buyer's wishes and can undermine the client's autonomy in decision-making.
