Agency and License Law Practice Question
Question
A salesperson notices a possible compliance problem for the Tennessee Affiliate Broker Exam involving commingling and Tennessee Real Estate Commission. Which response best applies the rule? (Item 66)
Answer choices
- A. A licensee may give legal conclusions instead of recommending qualified legal advice when uncertain.
- B. Identify improper mixing of client funds and broker funds in a way that fits Tennessee exam practice.
- C. A verbal understanding always replaces a written real estate requirement.
- D. The safest practice is to avoid written documentation so fewer questions are raised later.
Correct Answer
B. Identify improper mixing of client funds and broker funds in a way that fits Tennessee exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is B because commingling requires candidates to identify improper mixing of client funds and broker funds. The Tennessee 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.
