Which activity can be performed without a real estate license?

Negotiating property prices
Signing contracts on behalf of a client
Accompanying the appraiser during an inspection
Listing a property for sale

The correct answer is: Accompanying the appraiser during an inspection

The activity of accompanying the appraiser during an inspection can be performed without a real estate license because this role is typically more about providing information and facilitating the appraiser's work rather than engaging in activities that require a licensed professional. Appraisers are independent evaluators who assess the value of properties, and the assistance provided by a non-licensed individual does not involve negotiating or influencing the appraisal process. In contrast, activities such as negotiating property prices, signing contracts on behalf of a client, and listing a property for sale all require a real estate license in California because they involve agency relationships, legal obligations, and the management of contracts—all governed by state real estate laws. These actions are considered to be the practice of real estate and necessitate the expertise and compliance of a licensed individual to protect the interests of the parties involved.
