Nick signs a listing agreement with Broker Bob. Linda asks Broker Alice to represent her as a buyer of a condo. What do we know to be true about both of these scenarios?

This choice inaccurately suggests that only Linda's request qualifies as express agency. However, express agency can be created through both oral and written agreements. In this case, Nick’s signed listing agreement clearly establishes an express agency relationship as well.

This statement is incorrect because both Nick and Linda have indeed created express agency. Nick’s written agreement explicitly grants Broker Bob authority, while Linda’s request to Broker Alice, though oral, also establishes an agency relationship. Therefore, both scenarios meet the criteria for express agency.

While it is true that Nick's written listing agreement establishes express agency, this choice neglects the fact that Linda's oral request also meets the definition. Thus, it fails to acknowledge that both individuals have created express agency with their respective brokers.
