Agency and License Law Practice Question
Question
A client asks whether a fact should be disclosed for the Georgia Real Estate Salesperson Exam involving record retention and community association and closing-attorney practice awareness. Which response best applies the rule? (Item 51)
Answer choices
- A. The rule applies only to commercial transactions and never to residential transactions.
- B. Client funds may be mixed with business funds if the broker reconciles the account later.
- C. Understand transaction records must be maintained for required periods in a way that fits Georgia exam practice.
- D. The issue can be ignored if the parties want to close quickly.
Correct Answer
C. Understand transaction records must be maintained for required periods in a way that fits Georgia exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is C because record retention requires candidates to understand transaction records must be maintained for required periods. 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.
