Question

Alejandro is a salesperson at Rococo Real Estate Brokerage in Pensacola. While visiting his daughter in Daytona, Alejandro sees a property offered by Daytona Diligent Realty, which he proceeds to sell to a client back in Pensacola. Alejandro receives a 5% commission from Daytona Diligent Realty. Is there anything wrong with this situation, and if so, what is the key legal condition?

a) There is nothing wrong; salespersons can work across different cities.
b) Alejandro should not receive a commission from an out-of-town sale.
c) Daytona Diligent Realty must be a branch of Rococo Real Estate Brokerage.
d) The commission percentage should be higher for an out-of-town sale.

Answer 1

Alejandro should not receive a commission from an out-of-town sale.

Step-by-step explanation:

The key legal condition in this situation is that Alejandro should not receive a commission from an out-of-town sale. As a salesperson at Rococo Real Estate Brokerage in Pensacola, Alejandro should only receive commissions for sales made within his designated area of operation.

Since the property Alejandro sold was offered by Daytona Diligent Realty in Daytona, which is located outside of his designated area, he should not receive a commission for this sale.
