C. Designated agencyExplanation
Designated agency is a good alternative to dual agency because it allows for the appointment of separate agents to represent the buyer and seller in a real estate transaction. This ensures that each party has their own dedicated agent who can provide unbiased advice and representation. Designated agency helps to avoid conflicts of interest that may arise in dual agency, where one agent represents both parties simultaneously. By having separate agents, designated agency promotes transparency and ensures that each party's best interests are prioritized.Rate this question:
