A Connecticut real estate salesperson is assisting a buyer in drafting and submitting a purchase offer. Which of the following actions would NOT be a violation of Connecticut real estate license law or CREC regulations?

Correct Answer

D) The salesperson presents the fully executed offer to the buyer's supervising broker for review after submission

A salesperson presenting a fully executed offer to their supervising broker for review after submission, while not ideal from a supervision standpoint, does not in itself constitute a violation of Connecticut license law. Connecticut salespersons are required to operate under a supervising broker, and broker oversight of transactions is expected. While best practice is for the broker to be involved before submission, reviewing a completed offer is a normal supervisory function and not a license law violation.

Answer Options
A
The salesperson negotiates the offer terms directly with the seller without the seller's broker's knowledge
B
The salesperson fails to disclose to the buyer a known material defect in the property before the offer is submitted
C
The salesperson accepts the earnest money check made payable to the salesperson personally
D
The salesperson presents the fully executed offer to the buyer's supervising broker for review after submission

Earnest money is a deposit made by the buyer at the time of the offer or shortly after to demonstrate good faith and serious intent to purchase the property. It is also called a good faith deposit.

Equitable title is the buyer's interest in a property after a purchase contract is signed but before closing, giving the buyer the right to acquire legal title in the future. The seller retains legal title until the deed is delivered at closing.

A financing contingency makes the purchase contract conditional upon the buyer obtaining mortgage approval within a specified time period. If the buyer cannot secure financing, they can cancel the contract and receive their earnest money back.
