What must an agent do if she finds asbestos in a property she is selling?

Only provide a general environmental hazards booklet
Specifically disclose the presence of asbestos to the buyer
Ignore it since it's in the basement
Paint over the asbestos to seal it

The correct answer is: Specifically disclose the presence of asbestos to the buyer

An agent must specifically disclose the presence of asbestos to the buyer if she finds it in a property she is selling. Option A is incorrect because providing a general environmental hazards booklet is not enough; the agent must inform the buyer about the specific presence of asbestos. Option C is incorrect because ignoring the asbestos is not a responsible or ethical action, as it can be harmful to the buyer's health. Option D is incorrect because painting over asbestos does not effectively seal it and can lead to health hazards.
