Vacationing Agent and their stand in agent responsibilities:
When an agent goes on vacation and asks another agent to take care of a listing, the vacationing agent should disclose any patent/latent defects to the agent. The covering agent is responsible for what the seller told their agent even if the vacationing agent did not tell the covering agent. If the covering agent puts a property under contract, a law suit could be caused as a result and all parties would end up on a losing law suit battle.
