As a part of the contract, the seller agrees to provide a home warranty to the buyer. Randi Realtor informs the client that they will need to purchase the warranty coverage from Willies Warranties because that is who the firm uses. What is Randi violating?

The correct understanding revolves around the concept of tie-in agreements, which involve conditioning the sale of one product or service on the purchase of another. In this scenario, Randi Realtor is essentially restricting the buyer's choice to only one provider of home warranty services—Willies Warranties—because that is the chosen vendor of the firm. This can constitute a violation of antitrust laws, specifically the provisions against tie-in agreements.

Under antitrust laws, a real estate professional must not impose restrictions on a client's choice of service providers without a legitimate reason. Such practices can limit competition and potentially drive up prices, which goes against the interests of consumers.

In contrast, the other options do not apply in this situation. Disclosure requirements typically pertain to informing clients about specific conditions or facts relevant to the transaction, while dual agency rules involve the responsibilities of acting for both buyer and seller in a transaction. Fair housing regulations relate to discrimination practices in real estate transactions, which doesn't apply here either. Thus, Randi's actions specifically breach the provisions aimed at ensuring competitive practices are upheld in the market.
