Agency and License Law Practice Question
Question
A seller is preparing to list a home for the Tennessee Affiliate Broker Exam involving confidentiality and affiliate broker supervision. Which answer best reduces risk? (Item 24)
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. The party who complains first automatically receives the remedy requested.
- D. Protect confidential client information unless disclosure is authorized or required in a way that fits Tennessee exam practice.
Correct Answer
D. Protect confidential client information unless disclosure is authorized or required in a way that fits Tennessee exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is D because confidentiality requires candidates to protect confidential client information unless disclosure is authorized or required. 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.
