A listing agent notices a potential compliance issue involving steering. Which response best protects the client and keeps the transaction compliant? (Item 65)
Answer choices
- A. Recognize unlawful guidance based on protected-class characteristics.
- B. It is optional whenever both parties verbally agree to proceed.
- C. It allows a salesperson to act independently of the responsible broker.
- D. It shifts all responsibility to escrow and eliminates the broker’s duties.
Correct Answer
A. Recognize unlawful guidance based on protected-class characteristics.
Explanation
The correct answer is A 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.
