California Real Estate Salesperson Exam Practice – Quesiton 28

Explanations

A person employed by another to act on their behalf can take various forms depending on the specific nature of the relationship.

n
• An agent is generally defined as a person appointed by a principal to represent them in dealings with third parties. This directly aligns with “employed by another to act on his or her behalf.”
nnnn
• Many real estate licensees, such as salespersons, operate as independent contractors under a broker’s license, often receiving commission-based income and managing their own work hours. In this capacity, they are acting on behalf of their employing broker and clients.
nnnn
• Conversely, some individuals are directly employed as employees, receiving a fixed salary and being more closely supervised and managed. An employee can also act on behalf of their employer.
n

Therefore, since the phrase “employed by another to act on his or her behalf” is broad enough to encompass all three roles depending on the specific contractual and operational arrangements, “Any of the above” is the correct answer.
