Fair Housing and Practice Practice Question
Question
A first-time buyer asks for exam-focused clarification involving environmental hazards. Which response best protects the client and keeps the transaction compliant? (Item 57)
Answer choices
- A. Recognize disclosure concerns for hazards such as asbestos, lead, mold, or contamination.
- B. It can be ignored if the transaction is expected to close quickly.
- C. It requires the licensee to favor the other party over the licensee’s own client.
- D. It is primarily a tax rule with no effect on brokerage practice.
Correct Answer
A. Recognize disclosure concerns for hazards such as asbestos, lead, mold, or contamination.
Explanation
The correct answer is A because environmental hazards requires candidates to recognize disclosure concerns for hazards such as asbestos, lead, mold, or contamination. The other options overstate the effect of custom, oral agreement, escrow, or independent salesperson action and do not reflect safe California exam practice.
