It,s pure ethics. If the Buyers agent has been selected to represent the buyer then it is that agents resposibility to disclose all the facts as they may become known. In other words the agent must work in the clients best interets.
This buyer ,after asking for the appraisal, was denied, and had she had said appraisel she most likely would not have paid the price that she did,or she would not have purchased the house at all. I am a Realtor ,but I believe that this buyer does have some recourse to the agent and or the broker as all facts were not disclosed!!
