If items listed in the Inclusions and Exclusions Section are not a part of the property, what should the broker do?

In the context of real estate transactions, the Inclusions and Exclusions Section of a contract clarifies which items are included in the sale of the property and which items are excluded. If certain items are listed in this section as not being part of the property, the broker's responsibility shifts to ensuring that the buyer is aware of this exclusion without further action required.

The correct answer reflects a fundamental principle in real estate transactions: that the clarification of included or excluded items in the contract serves as a binding agreement between the parties. Since the items specified as exclusions are already accounted for in the contract, the broker does not need to take additional steps, such as notifying the seller or crossing anything out.

Taking no action keeps the agreement consistent and avoids confusion asserting that these items were never intended to be part of the sale. The focus remains on the clarity established in the contract, which dictates the inclusion or exclusion of items.
