License Law and Agency Practice Question
Question
An agent notices a possible issue before a contract is signed in a New York real estate transaction involving agency disclosure. Which response best applies the rule? (Item 135)
Answer choices
- A. The licensee should avoid documenting the issue to reduce the chance of later questions.
- B. A licensee may give legal conclusions instead of recommending qualified legal advice when the issue is uncertain.
- C. Provide and explain required agency relationship disclosures in covered transactions.
- D. A verbal understanding always replaces any written requirement in a real estate transaction.
Correct Answer
C. Provide and explain required agency relationship disclosures in covered transactions.
Explanation
The correct answer is C because agency disclosure requires candidates to provide and explain required agency relationship disclosures in covered transactions. 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.
