Question

multiple choice question

a ___ acts for and helps another broker perform brokerage services for a client.

• subagent
• limited consensual dual agent
• associate broker
• transactional broker

Explanation:

Analyze the definition

The question asks to identify the role that "acts for and helps another broker perform brokerage services for a client." This describes a relationship where an agent acts on behalf of another agent (the primary broker) to assist in serving the client.

Evaluate the options

• Subagent: A subagent is an agent appointed by another agent to perform brokerage services for a client, acting on behalf of the primary broker. This matches the definition perfectly.
• Limited Consensual Dual Agent: This role represents both the buyer and the seller in the same transaction with their consent.
• Associate Broker: A licensed broker who chooses to work under the supervision of a qualifying broker, rather than operating independently.
• Transactional Broker: A broker who assists parties in a transaction without representing either party as an agent.

Apply the concept

Using the Agency Relationship knowledge point, we identify that when a broker authorizes another broker or licensee to assist them in representing a client, that assisting party is acting as a subagent. Therefore, "Subagent" is the correct term.

Answer:

• Subagent (Correct answer)
• Limited Consensual Dual Agent
• Associate Broker
• Transactional Broker
