Your client is the prospective buyer of a home. The seller offers to pay you the same fee for the same inspection. How should you handle this situation?
  1. Accept the offer and provide inspection reports to your client and the seller.
  2. Accept the offer but only provide an inspection report to your client.
  3. Do not accept the offer but still provide an inspection report to the seller.
  4. Do not accept the offer and only provide an inspection report to your client.
Explanation
Answer: D - Your client is the prospective buyer of a home. The seller offers to pay you the same fee for the same inspection. You do not accept the offer and only provide an inspection report to your client. It is not ethical to accept compensation from multiple parties in a situation like the one described. There is no way to avoid the appearance of a conflict of interest if you accept money from the seller once you have already received compensation from your client.
