A closing coordinator in Winston-Salem is checking a study outline on buyer agency agreements and the written-agreement deadline. Which statement is NOT accurate under current North Carolina law?

Correct Answer

B) A nonexclusive buyer agency agreement is impossible in North Carolina under current North Carolina rules

This choice is the inaccurate statement. The other three options describe the current North Carolina rule or guidance more accurately.

Answer Options
A
A provisional broker providing buyer agency services must do so through the affiliated BIC and cannot independently create side buyer-agency relationships outside that supervision.
B
A nonexclusive buyer agency agreement is impossible in North Carolina under current North Carolina rules
C
If a broker is only assisting a buyer as a customer and not as an agent, the broker still must follow WWREA and disclosure duties, but agency-specific promises should not be implied.
D
A North Carolina buyer agency agreement should be signed before or at the time the offer is made, not after the buyer has already become contractually bound.
