A broker is supervising a transaction file involving steering. Which response best protects the client and keeps the transaction compliant? (Item 50)
Answer choices
- A. It makes oral promises enforceable in every real estate transaction.
- B. Recognize unlawful guidance based on protected-class characteristics.
- C. It is optional whenever both parties verbally agree to proceed.
- D. It allows a salesperson to act independently of the responsible broker.
Correct Answer
B. Recognize unlawful guidance based on protected-class characteristics.
Explanation
The correct answer is B because steering requires candidates to recognize unlawful guidance based on protected-class characteristics. The other options overstate the effect of custom, oral agreement, escrow, or independent salesperson action and do not reflect safe California exam practice.
