Agency and License Law Practice Question
Question
A broker is correcting a new licensee’s misunderstanding for the Michigan Real Estate Salesperson Exam involving agency disclosure and Michigan occupational licensing regulation. Which answer best reduces risk? (Item 62)
Answer choices
- A. The rule applies only to commercial transactions and never to residential transactions.
- B. Provide agency relationship disclosures when required by state practice in a way that fits Michigan exam practice.
- C. Client funds may be mixed with business funds if the broker reconciles the account later.
- D. The issue can be ignored if the parties want to close quickly.
Correct Answer
B. Provide agency relationship disclosures when required by state practice in a way that fits Michigan exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is B because agency disclosure requires candidates to provide agency relationship disclosures when required by state practice. The Michigan 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.
