Agency and License Law Practice Question
Question
A salesperson notices a possible compliance problem for the Georgia Real Estate Salesperson Exam involving commission payment and community association and closing-attorney practice awareness. Which statement is the best answer? (Item 158)
Answer choices
- A. Escrow or closing staff automatically assume all brokerage agency and disclosure duties.
- B. Recognize that affiliated licensees are usually paid through their broker in a way that fits Georgia exam practice.
- C. The client’s preference eliminates the need to disclose known material facts.
- D. The party who complains first automatically receives the remedy requested.
Correct Answer
B. Recognize that affiliated licensees are usually paid through their broker in a way that fits Georgia exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is B because commission payment requires candidates to recognize that affiliated licensees are usually paid through their broker. 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.
