Agency and License Law Practice Question
Question
A license applicant is reviewing a practice scenario for the Indiana Real Estate Broker Exam involving fiduciary loyalty and state agency and disclosure practice. Which statement is the best answer? (Item 94)
Answer choices
- A. The party who complains first automatically receives the remedy requested.
- B. Put the client’s interests ahead of the licensee’s personal interest in a way that fits Indiana exam practice.
- C. Escrow or closing staff automatically assume all brokerage agency and disclosure duties.
- D. The client’s preference eliminates the need to disclose known material facts.
Correct Answer
B. Put the client’s interests ahead of the licensee’s personal interest in a way that fits Indiana exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is B because fiduciary loyalty requires candidates to put the client’s interests ahead of the licensee’s personal interest. 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.
