Fair Housing, Practice, and Disclosures Practice Question
Question
A license applicant is reviewing a practice scenario for the Illinois Real Estate Broker Exam involving redlining and state escrow and advertising compliance. Which response best applies the rule? (Item 133)
Answer choices
- A. Recognize discriminatory lending or service denial based on area characteristics in a way that fits Illinois exam practice.
- B. Local custom controls even when a statute, regulation, contract, or disclosure rule applies.
- 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
A. Recognize discriminatory lending or service denial based on area characteristics in a way that fits Illinois exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is A because redlining requires candidates to recognize discriminatory lending or service denial based on area characteristics. 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.
