AgencyIntermediateAlaska Exam

Under Alaska's agency law, a broker who manages a property also owned by the broker has a duty to:

AHide any personal financial benefit from the property, as a general rule
BDisclose the ownership interest to any prospective tenants or buyersCorrect
CCharge only market-rate rents without profit
DUse a third-party manager to avoid conflicts

Why Disclose the ownership interest to any prospective tenants or buyers Is Correct

Answer B: Disclose the ownership interest to any prospective tenants or buyers

When a broker has a personal financial interest in a transaction — such as owning property they are managing, selling, or renting — they must disclose this interest to all parties they are dealing with. Undisclosed self-interest violates fiduciary and disclosure duties.

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.
