Why An agent acting on a buyer's behalf without a formal agreement and the buyer accepting those actions Is Correct

Answer C: An agent acting on a buyer's behalf without a formal agreement and the buyer accepting those actions

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.
