Which of the following describes acts that a licensee may perform for a consumer that do not constitute active representation?

Licensees are often involved in various roles during a real estate transaction, and understanding the difference between active representation and other acts is crucial. Ministerial acts refer to the supportive and administrative tasks that a licensee can perform for clients without establishing a fiduciary relationship or advocating for the client’s interests in a way that suggests active representation.

Examples of ministerial acts include providing general information about the property, preparing documents for a transaction, or conducting a showing without providing advice or influencing the consumer's decision-making. These actions are necessary for the transaction to progress but do not imply that the licensee is actively representing the buyer or seller in negotiations or strategic decision-making.

This differentiation is important because performing ministerial acts allows the licensee to assist consumers without the legal obligations that come with a more involved representation role. Understanding this concept is essential for licensees to navigate their responsibilities and compliance in real estate transactions effectively.
