Agency and License Law Practice Question
Question
A license applicant is reviewing a practice scenario for the South Carolina Real Estate Salesperson Exam involving accounting and South Carolina Real Estate Commission. Which response best applies the rule? (Item 7)
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. Properly handle and account for money, documents, and property entrusted to the licensee in a way that fits South Carolina exam practice.
- D. The party who complains first automatically receives the remedy requested.
Correct Answer
C. Properly handle and account for money, documents, and property entrusted to the licensee in a way that fits South Carolina exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is C because accounting requires candidates to properly handle and account for money, documents, and property entrusted to the licensee. The South Carolina 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.
