Agency and License Law Practice Question
Question
A salesperson notices a possible compliance problem for the Oregon Real Estate Broker Exam involving salesperson affiliation and seller property disclosure awareness. Which response best applies the rule? (Item 39)
Answer choices
- A. Escrow or closing staff automatically assume all brokerage agency and disclosure duties.
- B. The client’s preference eliminates the need to disclose known material facts.
- C. Understand that salespersons or agents generally act through a broker in a way that fits Oregon exam practice.
- D. The party who complains first automatically receives the remedy requested.
Correct Answer
C. Understand that salespersons or agents generally act through a broker in a way that fits Oregon exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is C because salesperson affiliation requires candidates to understand that salespersons or agents generally act through a broker. The Oregon 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.
