License Law and Agency Practice Question
Question
A supervising broker is correcting a salesperson’s misunderstanding in a New York real estate transaction involving escrow and trust funds. Which statement is most accurate for exam purposes? (Item 333)
Answer choices
- A. Handle deposits and client funds according to broker trust-account obligations.
- B. The party who complains first automatically receives the legal remedy requested.
- C. Escrow automatically assumes all brokerage disclosure and agency duties.
- D. The client’s preference eliminates the need to disclose known material facts.
Correct Answer
A. Handle deposits and client funds according to broker trust-account obligations.
Explanation
The correct answer is A because escrow and trust funds requires candidates to handle deposits and client funds according to broker trust-account obligations. The other options rely on unsafe assumptions about custom, oral agreement, escrow, client preference, or independent salesperson authority and do not reflect sound New York exam practice.
