Agency and License Law Practice Question
Question
A license applicant is reviewing a practice scenario for the Tennessee Affiliate Broker Exam involving consumer complaints and Tennessee Real Estate Commission. Which statement is the best answer? (Item 72)
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. Recognize the role of the state regulator in complaint handling and enforcement in a way that fits Tennessee exam practice.
Correct Answer
D. Recognize the role of the state regulator in complaint handling and enforcement in a way that fits Tennessee exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is D because consumer complaints requires candidates to recognize the role of the state regulator in complaint handling and enforcement. 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.
