Agency and License Law Practice Question
Question
A license applicant is reviewing a practice scenario for the Washington Real Estate Broker Exam involving fiduciary disclosure and agency law pamphlet concepts. Which statement is the best answer? (Item 131)
Answer choices
- A. Escrow or closing staff automatically assume all brokerage agency and disclosure duties.
- B. The client’s preference eliminates the need to disclose known material facts.
- C. Tell the client material information relevant to the representation in a way that fits Washington exam practice.
- D. The party who complains first automatically receives the remedy requested.
Correct Answer
C. Tell the client material information relevant to the representation in a way that fits Washington exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is C because fiduciary disclosure requires candidates to tell the client material information relevant to the representation. 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.
