Agency and License Law Practice Question
Question
An agent compares two similar exam concepts for the Virginia Real Estate Salesperson Exam involving salesperson affiliation and agency disclosure and brokerage relationship duties. Which answer best reduces risk? (Item 21)
Answer choices
- A. Understand that salespersons or agents generally act through a broker in a way that fits Virginia exam practice.
- B. The party who complains first automatically receives the remedy requested.
- C. Escrow or closing staff automatically assume all brokerage agency and disclosure duties.
- D. The client’s preference eliminates the need to disclose known material facts.
Correct Answer
A. Understand that salespersons or agents generally act through a broker in a way that fits Virginia exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is A because salesperson affiliation requires candidates to understand that salespersons or agents generally act through a broker. 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.
