Fair Housing, Practice, and Disclosures Practice Question
Question
A closing coordinator flags an issue before settlement for the Georgia Real Estate Salesperson Exam involving state fair housing and brokerage relationship disclosure. What should the licensee understand? (Item 210)
Answer choices
- A. The requirement matters only when the buyer obtains institutional financing.
- B. Recognize that state protections may be broader than federal minimums in a way that fits Georgia exam practice.
- C. The affiliated licensee may handle the matter independently without broker responsibility.
- D. Local custom controls even when a statute, regulation, contract, or disclosure rule applies.
Correct Answer
B. Recognize that state protections may be broader than federal minimums in a way that fits Georgia exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is B because state fair housing requires candidates to recognize that state protections may be broader than federal minimums. 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.
