A popular real estate agent contacts you and offers to include you on a "recommended services list" she gives to her clients. While there is no charge to be included on the list, she asks that you simply tell your friends and family members about her real estate services. What do you tell her?
  1. "Thanks! That would be great, and I am happy to send business your way."
  2. "Thanks, but I do not know anyone in the market for a home."
  3. "No thanks. I prefer to do my own marketing and recruitment of clients."
  4. "No thanks. It would be unethical of me to enter into such a relationship."
Explanation
Answer: D - A popular real estate agent contacts you and offers to include you on a "recommended services list" she gives to her clients. While there is no charge to be included on the list, she asks that you simply tell your friends and family members about her real estate services. You tell her "No thanks. It would be unethical of me to enter into such a relationship." Home inspectors should avoid all potential conflicts of interest. While there is no money being exchanged in this scenario, you are still indirectly compensating the real estate agent for including you on her "recommended services list" in the form of referrals to her.
