Principles, Property, and Land Use Practice Question
Question
A broker is correcting a new licensee’s misunderstanding for the Arizona Real Estate Salesperson Exam involving legal descriptions and Arizona Department of Real Estate. Which statement is the best answer? (Item 133)
Answer choices
- A. Distinguish metes and bounds, lot and block, and survey-based descriptions in a way that fits Arizona exam practice.
- 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. Client funds may be mixed with business funds if the broker reconciles the account later.
Correct Answer
A. Distinguish metes and bounds, lot and block, and survey-based descriptions in a way that fits Arizona exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is A because legal descriptions requires candidates to distinguish metes and bounds, lot and block, and survey-based descriptions. 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.
