Under RELA, a Pennsylvania broker of record, Wendy, discovers that her brokerage's errors and omissions (E&O) insurance policy has lapsed without renewal. While RELA does not specifically mandate E&O insurance for all licensees, what risk does operating without E&O coverage present?

Correct Answer

A) Operating without E&O insurance exposes the brokerage and its licensees to uninsured claims from clients, and some professional associations and MLSs require it as a condition of membership

While RELA does not specifically mandate E&O insurance for all situations, operating without it exposes the brokerage to significant financial risk from client claims. Additionally, many professional associations, MLSs, and franchise agreements require E&O coverage as a condition of participation.

Answer Options
A

B
No risk, because E&O insurance is completely irrelevant to real estate practice
C
The SREC will automatically revoke the brokerage license if E&O insurance lapses
D
Only the salespersons are at risk; the broker of record is protected by RELA regardless of insurance status
