Fair Housing and Practice Practice Question
Question
A seller is reviewing documents before accepting an offer involving trust fund handling. What should a California real estate licensee understand? (Item 86)
Answer choices
- A. It requires the licensee to favor the other party over the licensee’s own client.
- B. Identify timely handling and separation of client funds.
- C. It is primarily a tax rule with no effect on brokerage practice.
- D. It removes the need for written disclosure if the licensee believes the client already knows.
Correct Answer
B. Identify timely handling and separation of client funds.
Explanation
The correct answer is B because trust fund handling requires candidates to identify timely handling and separation of client funds. The other options overstate the effect of custom, oral agreement, escrow, or independent salesperson action and do not reflect safe California exam practice.
