Agency and License Law Practice Question
Question
An agent compares two similar exam concepts for the Ohio Real Estate Salesperson Exam involving dual agency or limited representation and state-specific license supervision. Which response best applies the rule? (Item 45)
Answer choices
- A. Recognize consent and neutrality duties when one brokerage is involved with both sides 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. Recognize consent and neutrality duties when one brokerage is involved with both sides in a way that fits Ohio exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is A because dual agency or limited representation requires candidates to recognize consent and neutrality duties when one brokerage is involved with both sides. 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.
