After a broker's listing on a house expired and it was relisted, what should the original broker inform a caller seeking to show the home?

He is no longer the listing agent.
He will set up an appointment for showing the home.
He will leave the key under the door mat.
The house is currently off the market.

The correct answer is: He is no longer the listing agent.

The correct answer is that the original broker should inform the caller that he is no longer the listing agent. When a listing agreement expires, the relationship between the broker and the seller ends, which means the broker no longer has the authority to represent the property or facilitate showings. This transparency is essential to maintain professionalism and trust in the real estate process. It prevents any potential confusion for the caller regarding who is currently handling the property. While relaying this information, the broker is also ensuring that the new listing agent can take over the communication and showing arrangements. It's vital for the caller to know the current situation about representation of the property to connect them with the correct parties involved in its sale.
