Valuation and Financing Practice Question
Question
A salesperson is explaining a concept to a client involving RESPA. Which statement is the most accurate exam answer? (Item 79)
Answer choices
- A. It is primarily a tax rule with no effect on brokerage practice.
- B. It removes the need for written disclosure if the licensee believes the client already knows.
- C. Identify settlement service disclosure and referral-fee restrictions.
- D. It can be ignored if the transaction is expected to close quickly.
Correct Answer
C. Identify settlement service disclosure and referral-fee restrictions.
Explanation
The correct answer is C because RESPA requires candidates to identify settlement service disclosure and referral-fee restrictions. The other options overstate the effect of custom, oral agreement, escrow, or independent salesperson action and do not reflect safe California exam practice.
