A seller lists property with a multimillion-dollar broker. The broker's agreement calls for him to enter the listing into the MLS within three working days. On the second day, the broker shows the property to a prospective buyer, who loves it. The buyer is leaving town the next day but will be back in one week to purchase it if it is still on the market. The broker wants to double his commission by selling his own listing, so he withholds the information from the MLS for 10 days. Based on this information, the broker .

B) may be liable to the seller for violating duties required by the listing agreement.

Explanation:

The Multiple Listing Service (MLS) is a database that allows brokers to cooperate in finding buyers for homes. They list the properties for sale and if other brokers know people who need such a house they will reach out and buy it. The listing broker and the selling broker will then share commissions.

This is what the broker was trying to avoid by withholding the information from the MLS.

However, the broker is in violation of the listing agreement which stated that he should post it on the MLS within 3 working days and as such there is a very real chance that he is liable to the seller for this violation.
