Agency and License Law Practice Question
Question
A seller is preparing to list a home for the Massachusetts Real Estate Salesperson Exam involving consumer complaints and Massachusetts Board of Registration. Which answer best reduces risk? (Item 180)
Answer choices
- A. The client’s preference eliminates the need to disclose known material facts.
- B. The party who complains first automatically receives the remedy requested.
- C. Escrow or closing staff automatically assume all brokerage agency and disclosure duties.
- D. Recognize the role of the state regulator in complaint handling and enforcement in a way that fits Massachusetts exam practice.
Correct Answer
D. Recognize the role of the state regulator in complaint handling and enforcement in a way that fits Massachusetts exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is D because consumer complaints requires candidates to recognize the role of the state regulator in complaint handling and enforcement. The Massachusetts 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.
