A licensee is working with a buyer who is concerned about the presence of sex offenders in a neighborhood. What should the licensee do?

Disclose all known sex offender information
Inform the buyer to seek information from a website
Research the local registry for offenders
Avoid discussing the topic altogether

The correct answer is: Inform the buyer to seek information from a website

The best course of action for a licensee in this situation is to inform the buyer to seek information from a website. This is due to the legal protections and guidelines set forth in various real estate laws, which typically state that while agents must disclose certain information, they are not required to provide information about sex offenders in a specific neighborhood. Instead, individuals are encouraged to obtain this information from publicly available resources, such as state or local sex offender registries, which are designed to provide details relevant to community safety without putting the licensee in a liability position. By directing the buyer to a reliable website, the licensee helps the buyer conduct their own research into the matter while remaining compliant with legal obligations regarding information disclosure. This approach respects the buyer's concerns and guides them to make informed decisions while protecting the licensee from potential legal repercussions.
