Agency and License Law Practice Question
Question
A closing coordinator flags an issue before settlement for the Illinois Real Estate Broker Exam involving fiduciary disclosure and state escrow and advertising compliance. Which answer best reduces risk? (Item 149)
Answer choices
- A. Tell the client material information relevant to the representation in a way that fits Illinois exam practice.
- B. The client’s preference eliminates the need to disclose known material facts.
- 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
A. Tell the client material information relevant to the representation in a way that fits Illinois exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is A because fiduciary disclosure requires candidates to tell the client material information relevant to the representation. The Illinois 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.
