Agency and License Law Practice Question
Question
A broker is correcting a new licensee’s misunderstanding for the Georgia Real Estate Salesperson Exam involving accounting and brokerage relationship disclosure. What should the licensee understand? (Item 133)
Answer choices
- A. Properly handle and account for money, documents, and property entrusted to the licensee in a way that fits Georgia exam practice.
- B. The affiliated licensee may handle the matter independently without broker responsibility.
- C. Local custom controls even when a statute, regulation, contract, or disclosure rule applies.
- D. The requirement matters only when the buyer obtains institutional financing.
Correct Answer
A. 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 A 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.
