Q

Let’s say you are supervising Alison, a real estate licensee. Alison just received a call from the Masons. They’re interested in putting their house on the market and would like to talk more with Alison about this process. Alison meets with the Masons the next day and is excited about this new prospect. She leaves them with her business card and a promise to call back in two months when they say they’ll be ready to act. In return, Alison leaves with an unsigned agency agreement and contact information for their son, Brent, who’s ready to buy his first home.

Alison can’t decide, are the Masons her clients? As her supervising broker, what would you say?
