Agency and License Law Practice Question
Question
A supervising broker is reviewing a transaction file for the Utah Real Estate Sales Agent Exam involving consumer complaints and sales agent brokerage affiliation. Which answer best reduces risk? (Item 90)
Answer choices
- A. The rule applies only to commercial transactions and never to residential transactions.
- B. Recognize the role of the state regulator in complaint handling and enforcement in a way that fits Utah exam practice.
- C. Client funds may be mixed with business funds if the broker reconciles the account later.
- D. The issue can be ignored if the parties want to close quickly.
Correct Answer
B. Recognize the role of the state regulator in complaint handling and enforcement in a way that fits Utah exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is B because consumer complaints requires candidates to recognize the role of the state regulator in complaint handling and enforcement. The Utah 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.
