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 lead-based paint and brokerage relationship disclosure. Which answer best reduces risk? (Item 73)
Answer choices
- A. Apply federal disclosure concepts for pre-1978 residential housing in a way that fits Georgia exam practice.
- B. The safest practice is to avoid written documentation so fewer questions are raised later.
- C. A licensee may give legal conclusions instead of recommending qualified legal advice when uncertain.
- D. A verbal understanding always replaces a written real estate requirement.
Correct Answer
A. Apply federal disclosure concepts for pre-1978 residential housing in a way that fits Georgia exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is A because lead-based paint requires candidates to apply federal disclosure concepts for pre-1978 residential housing. 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.
