Agency and License Law Practice Question
Question
A supervising broker is reviewing a transaction file for the Ohio Real Estate Salesperson Exam involving advertising compliance and agency disclosure and brokerage relationship practice. Which response best applies the rule? (Item 190)
Answer choices
- A. Client funds may be mixed with business funds if the broker reconciles the account later.
- B. Avoid misleading ads and include required brokerage or license identification in a way that fits Ohio exam practice.
- C. The issue can be ignored if the parties want to close quickly.
- D. The rule applies only to commercial transactions and never to residential transactions.
Correct Answer
B. Avoid misleading ads and include required brokerage or license identification in a way that fits Ohio exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is B because advertising compliance requires candidates to avoid misleading ads and include required brokerage or license identification. The Ohio 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.
