Agency and License Law Practice Question
Question
A buyer asks a licensee for an exam-focused explanation for the South Carolina Real Estate Salesperson Exam involving advertising compliance and agency disclosure and broker supervision. Which statement is most accurate for exam purposes? (Item 28)
Answer choices
- A. The issue can be ignored if the parties want to close quickly.
- B. The rule applies only to commercial transactions and never to residential transactions.
- C. Client funds may be mixed with business funds if the broker reconciles the account later.
- D. Avoid misleading ads and include required brokerage or license identification in a way that fits South Carolina exam practice.
Correct Answer
D. Avoid misleading ads and include required brokerage or license identification in a way that fits South Carolina exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is D because advertising compliance requires candidates to avoid misleading ads and include required brokerage or license identification. 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.
