What must licensees disclose regarding compensation received?

Only income received from clients
All forms of compensation from a third party
Compensation from their sponsoring broker only
Any bonus from outside stakeholders

The correct answer is: All forms of compensation from a third party

Licensees are required to disclose all forms of compensation received from a third party to ensure transparency and ethical practices in the real estate industry. This means that if a licensee receives any payment, commission, or bonus from someone other than their primary client or sponsoring broker, they must inform their clients of this arrangement. This disclosure helps clients understand potential conflicts of interest and how the licensee is being compensated for their services, which can influence the advice or recommendations provided. Transparency in compensation practices is vital for maintaining trust in the client-licensee relationship. It also aligns with regulatory requirements intended to protect consumers and ensure that they have all necessary information to make informed decisions about their transactions. The other choices are limited in scope and do not encompass the full range of obligations concerning compensation disclosure. For instance, disclosing only income received from clients does not include important third-party compensation that could affect the licensee’s performance or recommendations. Additionally, limiting disclosure to compensation from the sponsoring broker ignores various other financial relationships that may exist in real estate transactions.
