Agency and License Law Practice Question
Question
A supervising broker is reviewing a transaction file for the Georgia Real Estate Salesperson Exam involving accounting and brokerage relationship disclosure. Which response best applies the rule? (Item 187)
Answer choices
- A. Client funds may be mixed with business funds if the broker reconciles the account later.
- B. The issue can be ignored if the parties want to close quickly.
- C. Properly handle and account for money, documents, and property entrusted to the licensee in a way that fits Georgia exam practice.
- D. The rule applies only to commercial transactions and never to residential transactions.
Correct Answer
C. Properly handle and account for money, documents, and property entrusted to the licensee in a way that fits Georgia exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is C because accounting requires candidates to properly handle and account for money, documents, and property entrusted to the licensee. 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.
