Contracts, Finance, and Transfer Practice Question
Question
A license applicant is reviewing a practice scenario for the Georgia Real Estate Salesperson Exam involving statute of frauds and Georgia Real Estate Commission. Which statement is the best answer? (Item 164)
Answer choices
- A. The safest practice is to avoid written documentation so fewer questions are raised later.
- B. A licensee may give legal conclusions instead of recommending qualified legal advice when uncertain.
- C. A verbal understanding always replaces a written real estate requirement.
- D. Recognize that many real estate agreements must be written to be enforceable in a way that fits Georgia exam practice.
Correct Answer
D. Recognize that many real estate agreements must be written to be enforceable in a way that fits Georgia exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is D because statute of frauds requires candidates to recognize that many real estate agreements must be written to be enforceable. The Georgia reference keeps the scenario tied to state licensing practice, while the other options rely on unsafe assumptions about oral custom, escrow, client preference, independent licensee authority, or ignoring written duties.
