License Law and DRE Regulation Practice Question
Question
A property manager is preparing a written response involving record retention. The parties need a practical answer before moving forward. Which answer best applies the rule? (Item 71)
Answer choices
- A. It removes the need for written disclosure if the licensee believes the client already knows.
- B. It can be ignored if the transaction is expected to close quickly.
- C. Recognize that brokers must keep transaction and trust-fund records for required periods.
- D. It requires the licensee to favor the other party over the licensee’s own client.
Correct Answer
C. Recognize that brokers must keep transaction and trust-fund records for required periods.
Explanation
The correct answer is C because record retention requires candidates to recognize that brokers must keep transaction and trust-fund records for required periods. The other options overstate the effect of custom, oral agreement, escrow, or independent salesperson action and do not reflect safe California exam practice.
