Agency and License Law Practice Question
Question
A client asks whether a fact should be disclosed for the Pennsylvania Real Estate Salesperson Exam involving consumer complaints and consumer notice concepts. Which statement is most accurate for exam purposes? (Item 36)
Answer choices
- A. Local custom controls even when a statute, regulation, contract, or disclosure rule applies.
- B. The requirement matters only when the buyer obtains institutional financing.
- C. The affiliated licensee may handle the matter independently without broker responsibility.
- D. Recognize the role of the state regulator in complaint handling and enforcement in a way that fits Pennsylvania exam practice.
Correct Answer
D. Recognize the role of the state regulator in complaint handling and enforcement in a way that fits Pennsylvania 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 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.
