What type of tasks can unlicensed support personnel legally perform for licensees?

Conduct open houses
Negotiate offers
Compute commission checks
Sign legal documents

The correct answer is: Compute commission checks

Unlicensed support personnel can legally perform administrative and clerical tasks for licensed real estate professionals, which includes computing commission checks. This function is typically seen as a support task that does not require the individual to make real estate decisions or engage directly with clients. They provide essential assistance in ensuring that financial aspects of transactions are managed accurately and efficiently, but they do not engage in activities that require a real estate license. The other tasks mentioned typically fall outside the legal responsibilities of unlicensed personnel. Conducting open houses and negotiating offers are activities that directly involve engaging with clients and making decisions related to real estate transactions, which necessitates a real estate license. Signing legal documents also requires a legal authority that unlicensed individuals do not possess, as it involves binding agreements in real estate transactions. Thus, the role of unlicensed personnel is limited to non-client-facing tasks that support the work of licensed agents.
