Fair Housing, Practice, and Disclosures Practice Question
Question
A salesperson notices a possible compliance problem for the Georgia Real Estate Salesperson Exam involving state fair housing and Georgia Real Estate Commission. Which statement is the best answer? (Item 98)
Answer choices
- A. Local custom controls even when a statute, regulation, contract, or disclosure rule applies.
- B. Recognize that state protections may be broader than federal minimums in a way that fits Georgia exam practice.
- C. The requirement matters only when the buyer obtains institutional financing.
- D. The affiliated licensee may handle the matter independently without broker responsibility.
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.
