Real Estate Principles Practice Question
Question
A property owner asks how a rule affects marketability in a Florida real estate transaction involving legal descriptions. What should the licensee understand? (Item 100)
Answer choices
- A. A licensee may give legal conclusions instead of recommending qualified legal advice when the issue is uncertain.
- B. A verbal understanding always replaces any written requirement in a real estate transaction.
- C. The licensee should avoid documenting the issue to reduce the chance of later questions.
- D. Identify metes and bounds, lot and block, and government survey descriptions.
Correct Answer
D. Identify metes and bounds, lot and block, and government survey descriptions.
Explanation
The correct answer is D because legal descriptions requires candidates to identify metes and bounds, lot and block, and government survey descriptions. The other options rely on unsafe assumptions about custom, oral agreement, escrow, client preference, or independent salesperson authority and do not reflect sound Florida exam practice.
