Agency and License Law Practice Question
Question
A license applicant is reviewing a practice scenario for the Georgia Real Estate Salesperson Exam involving confidentiality and Georgia Real Estate Commission. Which answer best reduces risk? (Item 114)
Answer choices
- A. The client’s preference eliminates the need to disclose known material facts.
- B. Protect confidential client information unless disclosure is authorized or required in a way that fits Georgia exam practice.
- C. The party who complains first automatically receives the remedy requested.
- D. Escrow or closing staff automatically assume all brokerage agency and disclosure duties.
Correct Answer
B. Protect confidential client information unless disclosure is authorized or required in a way that fits Georgia exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is B because confidentiality requires candidates to protect confidential client information unless disclosure is authorized or required. The Georgia 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.
