LAC 46:LXVII.3909. Broker's Authority to Reject Offers or Counter Offers

A. In the event the owner (seller) is not available and grants authority to the listing broker to reject an offer or counter offer, the listing broker or a licensee designated by the listing broker shall mark the offer or counter offer as rejected and sign the offer or counter offer as such in lieu of the owner (seller), but the listing broker or licensee designated by the listing broker shall nevertheless forward a copy of the rejected written offer or counter offer to the owner (seller) for his signature acknowledging the rejection of the offer or counter offer. The copy of the rejected offer or counter offer signed by the owner (seller) shall be retained in the files of the listing broker. In the case of a cooperative transaction, the cooperating listing broker shall provide a copy of the rejected offer or counter offer bearing the signature of the owner to the cooperating selling broker within five days after the signed rejection is received from the owner.
