Question & Answer

Review the question and all answer choices

A

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.

B

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.

C

Facilitates the transaction without representing either party

Correct Answer
D

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.
