Agency and License Law Practice Question
Question
A license applicant is reviewing a practice scenario for the Indiana Real Estate Broker Exam involving commission payment and Indiana Real Estate Commission. Which response best applies the rule? (Item 14)
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 Indiana 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 Indiana 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 Indiana 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.
