Under the New Jersey Real Estate License Act, which of the following is NOT a recognized ground for disciplinary action against a licensed real estate broker by the NJREC?

Correct Answer

A) Representing a buyer and a seller in the same transaction after obtaining informed written consent from both parties

Dual agency—representing both buyer and seller in the same transaction—is legally permissible in New Jersey, provided that the broker obtains informed written consent from both parties. Because it is an authorized practice when properly disclosed and consented to, it is NOT a ground for disciplinary action. The NJREC expressly recognizes disclosed dual agency as a permitted agency relationship under N.J.A.C. 11:5-6.9.

Answer Options
A
Representing a buyer and a seller in the same transaction after obtaining informed written consent from both parties
B
Being convicted of a crime involving moral turpitude or dishonesty
C
Engaging in a course of misrepresentation or making false promises through agents or advertising
D
Failing to maintain a separate trust account for client funds
