Fair Housing, Practice, and Disclosures Practice Question
Question
A salesperson notices a possible compliance problem for the Utah Real Estate Sales Agent Exam involving antitrust price fixing and Utah Division of Real Estate. What should the licensee understand? (Item 61)
Answer choices
- A. Avoid agreements with competitors about commission rates or fees in a way that fits Utah exam practice.
- B. The affiliated licensee may handle the matter independently without broker responsibility.
- C. Local custom controls even when a statute, regulation, contract, or disclosure rule applies.
- D. The requirement matters only when the buyer obtains institutional financing.
Correct Answer
A. Avoid agreements with competitors about commission rates or fees in a way that fits Utah 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 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.
