AgencyIntermediateAlaska Exam

In Alaska, a real estate agent acting as a 'facilitator' (non-agent) primarily differs from an agent because the facilitator:

AMay charge higher fees than agents
BDoes not represent either party and owes neither the full fiduciary duties of agencyCorrect
CMust hold a higher level of license than a salesperson, under the applicable standard
DIs not required to be licensed

Why Does not represent either party and owes neither the full fiduciary duties of agency Is Correct

Answer B: Does not represent either party and owes neither the full fiduciary duties of agency

A facilitator assists both parties in completing a transaction without representing either one. Unlike an agent, the facilitator does not owe fiduciary duties (loyalty, confidentiality) to either party — but does owe limited duties of honesty, fair dealing, and disclosure of known material facts to both.

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.
