Agency and License Law Practice Question
Question
A supervising broker is reviewing a transaction file for the Oregon Real Estate Broker Exam involving agency disclosure and seller property disclosure awareness. Which statement is most accurate for exam purposes? (Item 98)
Answer choices
- A. The affiliated licensee may handle the matter independently without broker responsibility.
- B. Provide agency relationship disclosures when required by state practice in a way that fits Oregon exam practice.
- C. Local custom controls even when a statute, regulation, contract, or disclosure rule applies.
- D. The requirement matters only when the buyer obtains institutional financing.
Correct Answer
B. Provide agency relationship disclosures when required by state practice in a way that fits Oregon exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is B because agency disclosure requires candidates to provide agency relationship disclosures when required by state practice. 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.
