CObtain separate licenses for each function
DAlways give priority to the property management role

Why Disclose both roles to all parties and ensure the combined responsibilities don't create conflicts Is Correct

Answer B: Disclose both roles to all parties and ensure the combined responsibilities don't create conflicts

When an agent serves dual roles for the same client, they must clearly disclose both roles and be vigilant that the combined responsibilities do not create undisclosed conflicts of interest. Transparency with clients about all roles and their scope is essential.

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.
