Oklahoma Agency
Practice Questions & Answers (2026)

Agency law is one of the most tested subjects on the Oklahoma real estate exam, and it's also one of the most misunderstood. The Oklahoma Real Estate Commission (OREC) expects licensees to understand the legal duties owed to clients vs. customers, and the specific timing of required disclosures under Oklahoma law. Study these questions carefully — candidates who rely on national agency frameworks and don't account for OK-specific rules are among the most common failures on the state portion.

B.At the first substantive contact before providing brokerage services
C.Only when a written buyer representation agreement is signed

Explanation

Oklahoma requires licensees to disclose their brokerage relationship to consumers at the first substantive contact before providing real estate brokerage services, ensuring consumers understand who the agent represents.

Q2. A single broker represents both the buyer and seller in the same transaction in Oklahoma. This is known as:

A.Subagency
B.Designated agency
C.Dual agency
D.Transactional brokerage

Explanation

When a single broker represents both the buyer and the seller in the same transaction, this is dual agency. In Oklahoma, dual agency must be disclosed and consented to in writing by both parties.

A.Loyalty
B.Obedience
C.Honest dealing and disclosure of material facts
D.Confidentiality of all financial information

Explanation

Oklahoma licensees owe all parties — clients and customers alike — honest dealing and disclosure of material facts. Duties such as loyalty, obedience, and confidentiality are owed only to the client the licensee represents.

Q4. An Oklahoma buyer's agent learns that her client plans to offer significantly below asking price because the client is a cash buyer and can close in 14 days. Regarding the seller, the agent should:

A.Disclose the buyer's financial strength to the seller to get the offer accepted
B.Keep the buyer's financial motivation and negotiating strategy confidential
C.Refuse to present an offer below asking price
D.Disclose the information only if the seller's agent asks directly

Explanation

A buyer's agent owes the duty of confidentiality to the buyer client. The agent must keep confidential information about the buyer's negotiating position, motivation, and financial capacity, using it only to benefit the buyer.

Q5. In an Oklahoma designated agency arrangement, the broker:

A.Personally represents both buyer and seller
B.Designates different licensees from the same firm to represent the buyer and seller respectively
C.Refers one party to another brokerage firm
D.Acts as a neutral facilitator with no agency duties

Explanation

In designated agency, the principal broker designates one licensee in the firm to represent the buyer and a different licensee to represent the seller. This allows each party to have full representation while the broker oversees both sides.

Q6. Agency by ratification occurs when:

A.A buyer signs a written buyer representation agreement
B.A principal retroactively approves unauthorized acts of an agent
C.A seller accepts a listing agreement
D.An agent acts on behalf of a client in an emergency

Explanation

Agency by ratification is created when a principal retroactively accepts or approves the unauthorized acts of a person who acted as their agent without prior authority. The principal's approval after the fact creates the agency relationship.

Q7. Which of the following best describes a 'transaction broker' or 'facilitator' relationship in Oklahoma?

A.An agent who represents both parties equally as a dual agent
B.A licensee who assists both parties without representing either as a client
C.A broker who only handles commercial transactions
D.An agent appointed by the court to close a transaction

Explanation

A transaction broker (facilitator) assists both buyer and seller in a real estate transaction without representing either party as a fiduciary client. The facilitator owes both parties limited duties including honest dealing and disclosure of material facts.

Q8. An agent's duty of 'obedience' to a client means:

A.Following all of the client's instructions, including illegal ones
B.Carrying out the client's lawful instructions promptly
C.Obeying the broker's instructions above the client's
D.Submitting all offers regardless of the client's instructions

Explanation

The duty of obedience requires the agent to follow the client's lawful instructions. The agent must not follow instructions that are illegal, unethical, or in violation of the agent's license law obligations.

Q9. An Oklahoma listing agent discovers a crack in the foundation that the seller did not mention. The agent must:

A.Keep it confidential to protect the seller client
B.Disclose the material defect to prospective buyers
C.Only disclose if directly asked by a buyer

Explanation

Oklahoma licensees have an affirmative duty to disclose known material defects to all parties regardless of who they represent. A structural crack is a material fact that could affect the value or desirability of the property.

A.A written agreement is signed by both parties
B.The principal expressly authorizes the agent in writing
C.The parties' conduct indicates an agency relationship without a formal written agreement
D.A court orders an agency relationship to be established
