Agency and License Law Practice Question
Question
A property manager asks how a rule affects a rental property for the Arizona Real Estate Salesperson Exam involving dual agency or limited representation and Arizona Department of Real Estate. Which statement is the best answer? (Item 9)
Answer choices
- A. Recognize consent and neutrality duties when one brokerage is involved with both sides in a way that fits Arizona exam practice.
- B. The requirement matters only when the buyer obtains institutional financing.
- C. The affiliated licensee may handle the matter independently without broker responsibility.
- D. Local custom controls even when a statute, regulation, contract, or disclosure rule applies.
Correct Answer
A. Recognize consent and neutrality duties when one brokerage is involved with both sides in a way that fits Arizona exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is A because dual agency or limited representation requires candidates to recognize consent and neutrality duties when one brokerage is involved with both sides. The Arizona reference keeps the scenario tied to state licensing practice, while the other options rely on unsafe assumptions about oral custom, escrow, client preference, independent licensee authority, or ignoring written duties.
