Agency and License Law Practice Question
Question
A license applicant is reviewing a practice scenario for the Tennessee Affiliate Broker Exam involving agency disclosure and Tennessee Real Estate Commission. Which answer best reduces risk? (Item 62)
Answer choices
- A. The safest practice is to avoid written documentation so fewer questions are raised later.
- B. Provide agency relationship disclosures when required by state practice in a way that fits Tennessee exam practice.
- C. A licensee may give legal conclusions instead of recommending qualified legal advice when uncertain.
- D. A verbal understanding always replaces a written real estate requirement.
Correct Answer
B. Provide agency relationship disclosures when required by state practice in a way that fits Tennessee exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is B because agency disclosure requires candidates to provide agency relationship disclosures when required by state practice. 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.
