Agency and License Law Practice Question
Question
A supervising broker is reviewing a transaction file for the Tennessee Affiliate Broker Exam involving fiduciary disclosure and agency and property condition disclosure practice. Which statement is most accurate for exam purposes? (Item 95)
Answer choices
- A. The affiliated licensee may handle the matter independently without broker responsibility.
- B. Local custom controls even when a statute, regulation, contract, or disclosure rule applies.
- C. Tell the client material information relevant to the representation in a way that fits Tennessee exam practice.
- D. The requirement matters only when the buyer obtains institutional financing.
Correct Answer
C. Tell the client material information relevant to the representation in a way that fits Tennessee exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is C because fiduciary disclosure requires candidates to tell the client material information relevant to the representation. 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.
