Agency and License Law Practice Question
Question
A client asks whether a fact should be disclosed for the Virginia Real Estate Salesperson Exam involving broker supervision and agency disclosure and brokerage relationship duties. What should the licensee understand? (Item 20)
Answer choices
- A. The requirement matters only when the buyer obtains institutional financing.
- 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. Recognize responsible broker oversight of affiliated licensees in a way that fits Virginia exam practice.
Correct Answer
D. Recognize responsible broker oversight of affiliated licensees in a way that fits Virginia exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is D because broker supervision requires candidates to recognize responsible broker oversight of affiliated licensees. The Virginia 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.
