Agency and License Law Practice Question
Question
A buyer asks a licensee for an exam-focused explanation for the Virginia Real Estate Salesperson Exam involving disciplinary grounds and Virginia Real Estate Board. Which answer best reduces risk? (Item 124)
Answer choices
- A. Local custom controls even when a statute, regulation, contract, or disclosure rule applies.
- B. The requirement matters only when the buyer obtains institutional financing.
- C. The affiliated licensee may handle the matter independently without broker responsibility.
- D. Recognize fraud, misrepresentation, trust fund violations, and unlicensed activity as discipline risks in a way that fits Virginia exam practice.
Correct Answer
D. Recognize fraud, misrepresentation, trust fund violations, and unlicensed activity as discipline risks in a way that fits Virginia exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is D because disciplinary grounds requires candidates to recognize fraud, misrepresentation, trust fund violations, and unlicensed activity as discipline risks. 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.
