Agency and License Law Practice Question
Question
A supervising broker is reviewing a transaction file for the South Carolina Real Estate Salesperson Exam involving consumer complaints and agency disclosure and broker supervision. Which answer best reduces risk? (Item 90)
Answer choices
- A. The affiliated licensee may handle the matter independently without broker responsibility.
- B. Recognize the role of the state regulator in complaint handling and enforcement in a way that fits South Carolina exam practice.
- C. Local custom controls even when a statute, regulation, contract, or disclosure rule applies.
- D. The requirement matters only when the buyer obtains institutional financing.
Correct Answer
B. Recognize the role of the state regulator in complaint handling and enforcement in a way that fits South Carolina exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is B because consumer complaints requires candidates to recognize the role of the state regulator in complaint handling and enforcement. 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.
