Agency and License Law Practice Question
Question
A supervising broker is reviewing a transaction file for the Virginia Real Estate Salesperson Exam involving advertising compliance and agency disclosure and brokerage relationship duties. What should the licensee understand? (Item 136)
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. Avoid misleading ads and include required brokerage or license identification in a way that fits Virginia exam practice.
Correct Answer
D. Avoid misleading ads and include required brokerage or license identification in a way that fits Virginia exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is D because advertising compliance requires candidates to avoid misleading ads and include required brokerage or license identification. 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.
