In order to protect the public from financial losses due to mistakes made by real estate licensees, what is REQUIRED by the Tennessee Real Estate Commission?

While errors and omissions (E & O) insurance can provide a safety net for licensees against claims made by clients, it is not a mandatory requirement enforced by the Tennessee Real Estate Commission. The focus of the Commission is primarily on the establishment of the Education and Recovery Fund for client compensation, rather than individual insurance policies for every licensee.

Similar to choice A, requiring brokers to carry E & O insurance is not a stipulation set by the Tennessee Real Estate Commission. The Commission emphasizes the mechanism of the Education and Recovery Fund rather than mandating E & O insurance for brokers and their affiliated licensees as a condition for licensure.

The requirement to post a bond is not part of the regulations set by the Tennessee Real Estate Commission. Instead, the focus is on the annual fee that contributes to the Education and Recovery Fund, which is specifically designed to address financial losses suffered by clients due to licensee mistakes.
