Agency and License Law Practice Question
Question
A seller is preparing to list a home for the Oregon Real Estate Broker Exam involving record retention and broker supervision and disclosure practice. What should the licensee understand? (Item 87)
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 transaction records must be maintained for required periods in a way that fits Oregon exam practice.
- D. The party who complains first automatically receives the remedy requested.
Correct Answer
C. Understand transaction records must be maintained for required periods in a way that fits Oregon exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is C because record retention requires candidates to understand transaction records must be maintained for required periods. 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.
