The Real Estate Brokerage Agency Law requires the licensee to do all of the following except which?

• A. Conduct a property inspection
• B. Disclose all material facts known by licensee
• C. Keep confidential information private
• D. Advise the consumer to seek expert advice

Answer: (A)

In agency practice, licensees owe fiduciary duties to their clients, including disclosing all known material facts, protecting the client’s confidential information, and advising the consumer to obtain expert advice when specialized evaluation is needed. A property inspection, however, is not a mandated duty of the licensee under this law. Inspections are specialized services performed by licensed inspectors or other professionals. If the licensee knows of defects, they must disclose them, but they are not required to conduct the inspection themselves. Therefore, the activity that is not required by the Real Estate Brokerage Agency Law is conducting a property inspection.
