Final answer:

A sales agent would violate the Equal Credit Opportunity Act (ECOA) if they follow instructions not to show a commercial office property to any women.

Step-by-step explanation:

If a sales agent follows instructions from a landlord or client not to show a commercial office property to any women, they would be violating the Equal Credit Opportunity Act (ECOA).

The ECOA is a federal law that prohibits discrimination based on gender among other protected characteristics in any aspect of a credit transaction. Since the sales agent's instructions would be treating women differently based on their gender, it would be considered a violation of this law.

It is important for sales agents to understand and follow the ECOA and other anti-discrimination laws to ensure fair and equal access to real estate for all individuals.
