An escrow officer requests clarification from the broker involving steering. Which response best protects the client and keeps the transaction compliant? (Item 35)
Answer choices
- A. It shifts all responsibility to escrow and eliminates the broker’s duties.
- B. It makes oral promises enforceable in every real estate transaction.
- C. Recognize unlawful guidance based on protected-class characteristics.
- D. It is optional whenever both parties verbally agree to proceed.
Correct Answer
C. Recognize unlawful guidance based on protected-class characteristics.
Explanation
The correct answer is C 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.
