Agency and License Law Practice Question
Question
A client asks whether a fact should be disclosed for the Ohio Real Estate Salesperson Exam involving advertising compliance and Ohio Division of Real Estate. Which statement is the best answer? (Item 64)
Answer choices
- A. The affiliated licensee may handle the matter independently without broker responsibility.
- B. Local custom controls even when a statute, regulation, contract, or disclosure rule applies.
- C. The requirement matters only when the buyer obtains institutional financing.
- D. Avoid misleading ads and include required brokerage or license identification in a way that fits Ohio exam practice.
Correct Answer
D. Avoid misleading ads and include required brokerage or license identification in a way that fits Ohio exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is D 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.
