Answer 1

Answer:

The best answer to the question: Mary, a salesperson licensee, may be investigated by the Commission for the following:___, would be: All of the above.

Explanation:

Real estate laws may vary from state to state, but essentially, real estate brokers are professionals dedicated to the listing and selling of real estate property, as well as managing all the paperwork related to these activities. Realtors, another name for real estate brokers, can have people working for them, also licensed, and who are known legally as salespersons, or licensees. Given their job description, licensees are basically subagents of the main broker, or principal broker, and are dependent on the tasks that  this broker may assign to them. In Mary´s case, she might be investigated by the Commission of the state where she is if: she takes compensation without her broker´s knowledge because essentially it is the broker who is Mary´s employer. Second, she cannot offer a home for sale when it hasn´t been listed by the seller on the market and finally, and most importantly, Mary cannot sign anything on behalf of the client without the latter one knowing. This is why the last one is the best option.
