Agency and License Law Practice Question
Question
A seller is preparing to list a home for the Tennessee Affiliate Broker Exam involving commingling and affiliate broker supervision. Which statement is most accurate for exam purposes? (Item 84)
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. Identify improper mixing of client funds and broker funds in a way that fits Tennessee exam practice.
Correct Answer
D. Identify improper mixing of client funds and broker funds in a way that fits Tennessee exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is D 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.
