What must an unlicensed assistant do if the listing agent is hospitalized while presenting an offer?

  1. Deliver the offer to the buyer

  2. Notify the seller of the accident

  3. Deliver the offer to the listing agent's broker

  4. Withdraw the offer

The correct answer is: Deliver the offer to the listing agent's broker

In the scenario where a listing agent is hospitalized while presenting an offer, the unlicensed assistant has a responsibility to ensure that the offer is communicated effectively to the appropriate party. Delivering the offer to the listing agent's broker is the correct action because the broker is legally responsible for overseeing all transactions and ensuring that contracts are handled properly. A broker can then take the necessary steps to either complete the offer process or delegate the responsibilities to another licensed agent. This maintains the integrity of the transaction and ensures that the seller remains informed and protected throughout the process. The other options do not fulfill legal and professional obligations as directly as this choice does. Simply notifying the seller or withdrawing the offer may not provide the necessary continuity and could lead to potential misunderstandings or complications in the transaction. Delivering the offer to the buyer would not be appropriate, as they are not the party that needs to be notified in this context.
