Fair Housing, Practice, and Disclosures Practice Question
Question
A supervising broker is reviewing a transaction file for the Georgia Real Estate Salesperson Exam involving federal fair housing and community association and closing-attorney practice awareness. Which response best applies the rule? (Item 177)
Answer choices
- A. Recognize protected classes and prohibited discrimination in sale, rental, and financing in a way that fits Georgia exam practice.
- B. A verbal understanding always replaces a written real estate requirement.
- C. The safest practice is to avoid written documentation so fewer questions are raised later.
- D. A licensee may give legal conclusions instead of recommending qualified legal advice when uncertain.
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.
