DA facilitator by default

Why A buyer's agent for that transaction Is Correct

Answer C: A buyer's agent for that transaction

When a buyer has signed a buyer representation agreement and the agent shows them a property listed by a different brokerage, the agent is functioning as the buyer's agent for that transaction — representing the buyer's interests.

Exam Tip: Agency

Agency questions are among the most tested on the exam. Focus on the difference between client and customer, and memorize the fiduciary duties (OLD CAR). Watch for questions that try to blur the line between a general agent and a special agent.
