Agency and License Law Practice Question
Question
A license applicant is reviewing a practice scenario for the Pennsylvania Real Estate Salesperson Exam involving dual agency or limited representation and Pennsylvania Real Estate Commission. Which statement is the best answer? (Item 9)
Answer choices
- A. Recognize consent and neutrality duties when one brokerage is involved with both sides in a way that fits Pennsylvania exam practice.
- B. Escrow or closing staff automatically assume all brokerage agency and disclosure duties.
- C. The client’s preference eliminates the need to disclose known material facts.
- D. The party who complains first automatically receives the remedy requested.
Correct Answer
A. Recognize consent and neutrality duties when one brokerage is involved with both sides in a way that fits Pennsylvania exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is A because dual agency or limited representation requires candidates to recognize consent and neutrality duties when one brokerage is involved with both sides. 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.
