Agency and License Law Practice Question
Question
A buyer asks a licensee for an exam-focused explanation for the Oregon Real Estate Broker Exam involving consumer complaints and broker supervision and disclosure practice. Which statement is most accurate for exam purposes? (Item 36)
Answer choices
- A. The issue can be ignored if the parties want to close quickly.
- B. The rule applies only to commercial transactions and never to residential transactions.
- C. Client funds may be mixed with business funds if the broker reconciles the account later.
- D. Recognize the role of the state regulator in complaint handling and enforcement in a way that fits Oregon exam practice.
Correct Answer
D. Recognize the role of the state regulator in complaint handling and enforcement in a way that fits Oregon exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is D because consumer complaints requires candidates to recognize the role of the state regulator in complaint handling and enforcement. 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.
