Fair Housing, Practice, and Disclosures Practice Question
Question
A supervising broker is reviewing a transaction file for the Tennessee Affiliate Broker Exam involving antitrust price fixing and agency and property condition disclosure practice. Which response best applies the rule? (Item 45)
Answer choices
- A. Avoid agreements with competitors about commission rates or fees in a way that fits Tennessee exam practice.
- B. Escrow or closing staff automatically assume all brokerage agency and disclosure duties.
- C. The client’s preference eliminates the need to disclose known material facts.
- D. The party who complains first automatically receives the remedy requested.
Correct Answer
A. Avoid agreements with competitors about commission rates or fees in a way that fits Tennessee exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is A because antitrust price fixing requires candidates to avoid agreements with competitors about commission rates or fees. 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.
