Who is the principal in a seller agency relationship?

  1. The buyer client of the co-operating brokerage.

  2. The salesperson employed by the co-operating brokerage.

  3. The salesperson who lists the seller's property.

  4. The seller represented by a brokerage.

The correct answer is: The seller represented by a brokerage.

In a seller agency relationship, the principal is the seller represented by a brokerage. The seller is the main party in the real estate transaction who has hired a brokerage to represent their interests. The brokerage and the real estate agent representing the seller have a fiduciary duty to act in the best interests of the seller. Therefore, the correct answer is D. Option A is incorrect because the buyer client of the cooperating brokerage is not the principal in a seller agency relationship. Option B is incorrect as the salesperson employed by the cooperating brokerage is not the principal in this scenario. Option C is incorrect because while the listing salesperson plays a crucial role in the seller agency relationship, they are not the principal.
