Agency and License Law Practice Question
Question
A property manager asks how a rule affects a rental property for the New Jersey Real Estate Salesperson Exam involving commingling and New Jersey Real Estate Commission. Which response best applies the rule? (Item 66)
Answer choices
- A. The requirement matters only when the buyer obtains institutional financing.
- B. Identify improper mixing of client funds and broker funds in a way that fits New Jersey exam practice.
- C. The affiliated licensee may handle the matter independently without broker responsibility.
- D. Local custom controls even when a statute, regulation, contract, or disclosure rule applies.
Correct Answer
B. Identify improper mixing of client funds and broker funds in a way that fits New Jersey exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is B because commingling requires candidates to identify improper mixing of client funds and broker funds. The New Jersey 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.
