Agency and License Law Practice Question
Question
A client asks whether a fact should be disclosed for the Oregon Real Estate Broker Exam involving disciplinary grounds and seller property disclosure awareness. Which response best applies the rule? (Item 52)
Answer choices
- A. The rule applies only to commercial transactions and never to residential transactions.
- B. Client funds may be mixed with business funds if the broker reconciles the account later.
- C. The issue can be ignored if the parties want to close quickly.
- D. Recognize fraud, misrepresentation, trust fund violations, and unlicensed activity as discipline risks in a way that fits Oregon exam practice.
Correct Answer
D. Recognize fraud, misrepresentation, trust fund violations, and unlicensed activity as discipline risks in a way that fits Oregon exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is D because disciplinary grounds requires candidates to recognize fraud, misrepresentation, trust fund violations, and unlicensed activity as discipline risks. 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.
