Agency and License Law Practice Question
Question
A license applicant is reviewing a practice scenario for the Ohio Real Estate Salesperson Exam involving record retention and Ohio Division of Real Estate. What should the licensee understand? (Item 177)
Answer choices
- A. Understand transaction records must be maintained for required periods in a way that fits Ohio exam practice.
- B. The client’s preference eliminates the need to disclose known material facts.
- C. The party who complains first automatically receives the remedy requested.
- D. Escrow or closing staff automatically assume all brokerage agency and disclosure duties.
Correct Answer
A. Understand transaction records must be maintained for required periods in a way that fits Ohio exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is A because record retention requires candidates to understand transaction records must be maintained for required periods. 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.
