Agency and License Law Practice Question
Question
A supervising broker is reviewing a transaction file for the Washington Real Estate Broker Exam involving advertising compliance and seller disclosure and environmental awareness. Which statement is the best answer? (Item 154)
Answer choices
- A. The affiliated licensee may handle the matter independently without broker responsibility.
- B. Avoid misleading ads and include required brokerage or license identification in a way that fits Washington exam practice.
- 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
B. Avoid misleading ads and include required brokerage or license identification in a way that fits Washington exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is B because advertising compliance requires candidates to avoid misleading ads and include required brokerage or license identification. The Washington 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.
