Humber/Ontario Real Estate Course 3 Exam Practice

Salesperson Patel and Salesperson Chang from different branches of the same brokerage are involved in the same transaction. In the confirmation of co-operation and representation, what should Patel indicate?

1. Kamal would indicate that the listing brokerage is not representing the buyer.

2. Kamal would indicate that the listing brokerage is providing customer service to the buyer.

3. Kamal would indicate that the listing brokerage is acting in a multiple representation capacity.

4. Kamal would indicate that the listing brokerage is not representing the buyer or the seller, and is providing customer service to both.

The correct answer is: Kamal would indicate that the listing brokerage is acting in a multiple representation capacity.

In this scenario, the correct answer is that Patel should indicate that the listing brokerage is acting in a multiple representation capacity. This means that both salesperson Patel and salesperson Chang, from different branches of the same brokerage, can represent both the buyer and the seller in the transaction. This situation requires a high level of transparency, disclosure, and consent from all parties involved to ensure that the dual representation is handled ethically and professionally. Option A is incorrect because it states that the listing brokerage is not representing the buyer, which is not the case with multiple representation. Option B is incorrect because it implies that the listing brokerage is only providing customer service to the buyer, which is not true when it comes to multiple representation. Option D is incorrect because it suggests that the listing brokerage is not representing either the buyer or the seller, which is not the case in a multiple representation scenario where both parties are represented by agents from the same brokerage.
