I totally agree. I would also add that it is a legitimate reason to cancel the sales contract. The seller failed to disclose the water damage, which was visible, even if she didn't know about it. The licensed broker has a duty to treat the buyer fairly, and to not take advantage of them. That is their duty as a licensed professional.
