If a buyer receives a "Homeowner's Guide to Earthquake Safety," what is the broker's obligation?

The broker's obligation after providing a "Homeowner's Guide to Earthquake Safety" is to ensure that the buyer receives the guide as a resource about earthquake safety. Once this guide has been presented, the broker is fulfilling their legal requirement and there is no necessity for additional explanations or details about earthquakes unless the buyer requests more information. The guide itself is designed to educate homeowners about safety measures and best practices concerning earthquakes, thereby serving its purpose effectively.

If a broker were to take on the additional burden of providing extensive details, it may create a situation that goes beyond the scope of their obligation. Similarly, reporting the buyer for not acknowledging the guide would be inappropriate, as it is not the broker's responsibility to enforce the buyer's acknowledgment. Providing a written summary of the guide's contents can also be seen as unnecessary, given that the guide is intended to stand on its own as a complete resource. Thus, fulfilling the obligation simply involves the act of providing the guide to the buyer.
