Agency and License Law Practice Question
Question
A seller is preparing to list a home for the Washington Real Estate Broker Exam involving salesperson affiliation and seller disclosure and environmental awareness. Which statement is the best answer? (Item 93)
Answer choices
- A. Understand that salespersons or agents generally act through a broker in a way that fits Washington exam practice.
- B. A verbal understanding always replaces a written real estate requirement.
- C. The safest practice is to avoid written documentation so fewer questions are raised later.
- D. A licensee may give legal conclusions instead of recommending qualified legal advice when uncertain.
Correct Answer
A. Understand that salespersons or agents generally act through a broker in a way that fits Washington 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 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.
