Agency
In Alaska, a 'subagent' is best described as:
AA second agent hired by the buyer
BAn agent who works for the listing broker but has been authorized to assist the buyer✓ Correct
CAn agent who is subordinate to the buyer's agent
DAn agent who represents a buyer without a written agreement
Explanation
Subagency traditionally occurred when a selling (cooperating) broker — through the MLS — was authorized to act as an agent of the listing broker and, therefore, as a subagent of the seller. This created confusion because buyers often assumed the selling broker represented them. Most states have moved away from automatic subagency.
