Leah is a broker, and she represents Mark, who is selling his home. Leah holds an open house to show Mark’s home. Nathan is a potential buyer, and he attends the open house. Nathan has heard rumors that the house is haunted and asks Leah whether it is, indeed, haunted. Leah is caught off guard by Nathan’s question, because she has never heard of such rumors. Leah tells Nathan that she’s never heard about the house being haunted, but she will look into it for him. Leah leaves the open house and fails to investigate further by asking Mark, local neighbors, or local historians, whether the house is haunted or has ever been haunted. Nathan forgets to follow up with Leah to see whether the house is haunted or not. Because Nathan forgot to follow up with Leah about whether the house was haunted, Nathan assumed that it wasn’t haunted and decided to buy the home. After all the parties close on the home, and Nathan moves in, he finds out that the house is indeed haunted. Nathan comes to you, his attorney, and asks for help. What misconduct has Leah engaged in?
