A North Carolina listing agent has simultaneously received two offers to purchase the same listed property. Offer A contains a purchase price that is $1000 higher than Offer B. The agent promptly presents both offers to the seller. The seller directs the listing agent to tell Offeror B the purchase price contained in Offer A and to advise Offeror B that the seller will give Offeror B twenty-four hours to submit a more competitive offer. Given these circumstances, what should the listing agent do?
a) Disclose both offers to the seller without revealing the specific details of each offer.
b) Follow the seller's instructions and disclose the higher offer to the other party, allowing them an opportunity to submit a more competitive offer.
c) Inform both parties about the situation and let them decide how to proceed.
d) Accept the higher offer without giving the other party a chance to submit a revised offer.
