Fair Housing, Practice, and Disclosures Practice Question
Question
A closing coordinator flags an issue before settlement for the Arizona Real Estate Salesperson Exam involving unauthorized legal advice and Arizona Department of Real Estate. Which statement is most accurate for exam purposes? (Item 160)
Answer choices
- A. Client funds may be mixed with business funds if the broker reconciles the account later.
- B. The issue can be ignored if the parties want to close quickly.
- C. The rule applies only to commercial transactions and never to residential transactions.
- D. Avoid drafting legal rights or giving legal opinions beyond license authority in a way that fits Arizona exam practice.
Correct Answer
D. Avoid drafting legal rights or giving legal opinions beyond license authority in a way that fits Arizona exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is D because unauthorized legal advice requires candidates to avoid drafting legal rights or giving legal opinions beyond license authority. The Arizona reference keeps the scenario tied to state licensing practice, while the other options rely on unsafe assumptions about oral custom, escrow, client preference, independent licensee authority, or ignoring written duties.
