Under Utah Administrative Code R162-2f, which of the following is NOT a ground for disciplinary action against a Utah real estate licensee?

Correct Answer

C) Representing a buyer in a transaction where the agent's spouse is the seller

Representing a buyer in a transaction where the agent's spouse is the seller is not automatically a ground for disciplinary action in Utah — it is a situation that requires full written disclosure of the conflict of interest and informed consent from all parties. If properly disclosed and consented to, the representation may proceed lawfully. The activity itself (representing a buyer when a family member is the seller) is not per se prohibited; it is the failure to disclose that would constitute a violation.

A
Commingling client trust funds with the broker's personal operating funds

Failing to disclose a known material defect in a property being sold
C
Representing a buyer in a transaction where the agent's spouse is the seller
D
Advertising a property for sale using only the agent's name without the brokerage name
