Agency and License Law Practice Question
Question
A seller is preparing to list a home for the Pennsylvania Real Estate Salesperson Exam involving salesperson affiliation and Pennsylvania Real Estate Commission. Which answer best reduces risk? (Item 111)
Answer choices
- A. A licensee may give legal conclusions instead of recommending qualified legal advice when uncertain.
- B. A verbal understanding always replaces a written real estate requirement.
- C. Understand that salespersons or agents generally act through a broker in a way that fits Pennsylvania exam practice.
- D. The safest practice is to avoid written documentation so fewer questions are raised later.
Correct Answer
C. Understand that salespersons or agents generally act through a broker in a way that fits Pennsylvania exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is C because salesperson affiliation requires candidates to understand that salespersons or agents generally act through a broker. 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.
