CWhen the broker's system logs the first showing request, since Arizona courts have held that scheduling a showing creates a presumption of agency

Why When a buyer representation agreement is signed, or when the agent's conduct creates an implied agency Is Correct

A buyer agency relationship is created by a signed buyer representation agreement (express agency) or by the agent's conduct that creates an implied agency relationship. The formal written agreement is the preferred approach.

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.
