Agency and License Law Practice Question
Question
A seller is preparing to list a home for the Pennsylvania Real Estate Salesperson Exam involving trust money and state agreement and disclosure practice. Which response best applies the rule? (Item 101)
Answer choices
- A. Handle client funds separately, promptly, and according to broker/state rules in a way that fits Pennsylvania exam practice.
- B. The party who complains first automatically receives the remedy requested.
- C. Escrow or closing staff automatically assume all brokerage agency and disclosure duties.
- D. The client’s preference eliminates the need to disclose known material facts.
Correct Answer
A. Handle client funds separately, promptly, and according to broker/state rules in a way that fits Pennsylvania exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is A because trust money requires candidates to handle client funds separately, promptly, and according to broker/state rules. The Pennsylvania 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.
