Are you obligated to disclose other offers to every agent that shows your listing?

I totally agree that as a buyers agent its your responsibility if that property is avialable and if it had any offers but given not all agents ask.  The thing I do is ask for a feedback after showing and just tell them I dont want to put pressure on you or your client but I will be presenting all offers to sellers tonight or tomorrow morning

Ralph, I can only answer to here in CT. NO, unless the owner has directed us to disclose, in writing by the way, then we cannot disclose any other offers. 

Ralph Gorgoglione Unless specifically asked, we are not required to even notify, unless an offer is placed and there are other offers outstanding. Then a multiple offer addendum is required by all offering agents. Specific, not a chance; this borders on a gray area of divulging confidential information and can be considered a breach of your fiduciary duty to your prinicipal.

Generally, we follow the seller's instructions.

But if I am showing a buyer, I email or call to see if 'the property is still available.' I want to let the buyer know if it will possibly be a wild goose chase.

And I have made calls to agents getting ready to show a listing of ours if the seller has just accepted an offer and contracted. 

But if we only have an offer, no contract, I don't inform unless asked. 

I'd think if a buyer was interested, they'd find out very quickly one way or another if there are other offers.

I don't see it as a listing agent's responsibility to provide this info unless prompted by a query or a multiple offer situation.

I always ask if there are written offers. I want my buyers to know the status if we are looking. 

Hi there, Ralph! I employ the same tactic you do as a listing agent. When I'm working with a buyer, I ask about offers if my clients is interested; if there are offers, I further ask if they are written.

For me, I dislike it when a listing agent calls me to let me know they have several offers in and if my client would like to submit . . . hmmmmmm . . . if my client wanted to submit an offer, I'd be on the phone to the listing agent, not other way around.  But, yes, absolutely do tell when asked the number, not the details!!
