Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation:

In Maryland, a real estate licensee may only perform brokerage services and be entitled to compensation when a written brokerage agreement exists between the client and the broker.

This agreement must clearly state the broker's duties, compensation terms, and representation type (buyer, seller, or dual).

Verbal agreements are insufficient to establish an enforceable right to a commission.
