Question & Answer
Review the question and all answer choices
determine commission rates allowable by law.
A is incorrect because commission rates are determined by market negotiations between brokers and agents, not set by law or the Commissioner. The Commissioner does not have authority to establish allowable commission rates.
negotiate a settlement dispute between principals.
B is incorrect because the Commissioner does not negotiate settlements between principals (buyers and sellers). Dispute resolution typically occurs through mediation services, legal action, or arbitration, not through the Commissioner's office.
report fraud by a real estate licensee.
C is misleading. While fraud can be reported to the Commissioner, this option suggests the Commissioner's primary role is to handle general fraud reports. Their actual focus is on investigating license misconduct, not general fraud by non-licensees.

Why is this correct?
D is correct because zoning regulations are public information that the Real Estate Commissioner can provide to any individual. This is a informational service, not a regulatory function, making it accessible to all regardless of licensing status.
