Question 1
What is the legal term for the relationship created when a broker is authorized to act on behalf of a client in a real estate transaction?
Answer
An agency relationship. The broker (agent) owes fiduciary duties to the client (principal) and is authorized to represent their interests.
Question 2
What type of agency is created when a broker's actions and conduct imply an agency relationship, even without a written agreement?
Answer
Implied agency. It arises from the behavior and actions of the parties rather than an express written or verbal agreement.
Question 3
What is a 'dual agency' in real estate brokerage?
Answer
Dual agency occurs when a single broker or brokerage represents both the buyer and seller in the same transaction. It requires informed written consent from both parties.
Question 4
What is 'designated agency' in a brokerage context?
Answer
Designated agency occurs when a broker assigns different licensed agents within the same firm to represent the buyer and seller separately, avoiding full dual agency.
Question 5
How is a 'subagent' defined in real estate brokerage law?
Answer
A subagent is a licensee who represents the seller through cooperation with the listing broker, rather than through a direct agreement with the seller.
