Contracts, Finance, and Transfer Practice Question
Question
A client asks whether a fact should be disclosed for the Illinois Real Estate Broker Exam involving deed types and agency disclosure practice. Which statement is most accurate for exam purposes? (Item 140)
Answer choices
- A. Local custom controls even when a statute, regulation, contract, or disclosure rule applies.
- B. The requirement matters only when the buyer obtains institutional financing.
- C. The affiliated licensee may handle the matter independently without broker responsibility.
- D. Distinguish warranty, grant, special warranty, and quitclaim concepts at a high level in a way that fits Illinois exam practice.
Correct Answer
D. Distinguish warranty, grant, special warranty, and quitclaim concepts at a high level in a way that fits Illinois exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is D because deed types requires candidates to distinguish warranty, grant, special warranty, and quitclaim concepts at a high level. The Illinois 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.
