Fair Housing, Practice, and Disclosures Practice Question
Question
A broker is correcting a new licensee’s misunderstanding for the Georgia Real Estate Salesperson Exam involving federal fair housing and brokerage relationship disclosure. What should the licensee understand? (Item 113)
Answer choices
- A. Recognize protected classes and prohibited discrimination in sale, rental, and financing in a way that fits Georgia exam practice.
- 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. The safest practice is to avoid written documentation so fewer questions are raised later.
Correct Answer
A. Recognize protected classes and prohibited discrimination in sale, rental, and financing in a way that fits Georgia exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is A because federal fair housing requires candidates to recognize protected classes and prohibited discrimination in sale, rental, and financing. 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.
