A transaction broker in Arizona:
Question & Answer
Review the question and all answer choices
Represents the seller only
Option A is incorrect because a transaction broker does not represent the seller. That would be a traditional seller's agent relationship with fiduciary duties. Transaction brokerage specifically avoids this agency relationship, making the broker a neutral facilitator rather than an advocate for either party.
Represents the buyer only
Option B is incorrect because a transaction broker does not represent the buyer. That would be a traditional buyer's agency relationship. Transaction brokerage is defined by its lack of representation for either party, distinguishing it from both buyer and seller agency relationships.
Facilitates the transaction without representing either party
Is not recognized in Arizona
Option D is incorrect because Arizona does recognize transaction brokerage as a valid relationship in real estate transactions. This is specifically addressed in Arizona's real estate licensing laws and regulations, which provide the legal framework for this non-agency approach.
Why is this correct?
Option C is correct because Arizona law specifically recognizes transaction brokerage as a non-agency relationship where the broker facilitates the transaction without representing either party's interests as a fiduciary. This role focuses on neutrality, assisting both buyer and seller without the traditional duties of loyalty, confidentiality, or full disclosure that apply in agency relationships.
