This sounds like BS to me but the listing contract has a specific clause that has me concerned:EARNED: Seller shall pay the Firm's commission, which shall be earned, if, during the term of this Listing:A ready, willing and able buyer submits a bona fide written offer to Seller or Firm for the Property at, or above, the listprice and on substantially the same terms set forth in this Listing and the current WB-11 Residential Offer to Purchase,even if Seller does not accept the buyer's offer.

for WA I don't think you have to notice tenants that you are selling except in Seattle where there is technically a TOPA (tenant opportunity to purchase) ordinance but honestly I don't know how well it is enforced but in theory its 90 days notice during which time if the tenants or a 3rd party they designate make a bona fide offer you have to 'consider it' whatever that means.   

That's not a forgery and creates a whole different set of problems, especially if the Grantee of the deed conveys an interest to a bona fide third party.  

That leaves 804:(a)To refuse to sell or rent after the making of a bona fide offer, or to refuse to negotiate for the sale or rental of, or otherwise make unavailable or deny, a dwelling to any person because of race, color, religion, sex, familial status, or national origin.

Talk to a bona fide asset protection attorney.

I asked the loand owners essentially when was the last time they got a bona fide offer on their land and their answers were the same: none (in years)?

Then, you could represent this corporation as a bona fide creditor to a federal judge in bankruptcy court.Errr...OK, probably not a great idea as attorney William S.

Anything else means that you are ceding all management control of the trust (and the LLC) to another individual in a bona fide manner. 

I don't know what state you're in but I don't know of any state that lets someone who doesn't own the house sign a contract with a real estate agent to market the house, unless that person is a bona fide agent of the seller (IE a property manager). 3.
