Agency and License Law Practice Question
Question
A seller is preparing to list a home for the Missouri Real Estate Salesperson Exam involving dual agency or limited representation and agency and escrow compliance. Which response best applies the rule? (Item 45)
Answer choices
- A. Recognize consent and neutrality duties when one brokerage is involved with both sides in a way that fits Missouri exam practice.
- 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. The client’s preference eliminates the need to disclose known material facts.
Correct Answer
A. Recognize consent and neutrality duties when one brokerage is involved with both sides in a way that fits Missouri exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is A because dual agency or limited representation requires candidates to recognize consent and neutrality duties when one brokerage is involved with both sides. The Missouri 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.
