Fair Housing, Practice, and Disclosures Practice Question
Question
A client asks whether a fact should be disclosed for the Illinois Real Estate Broker Exam involving seller property disclosure and agency disclosure practice. Which statement is the best answer? (Item 170)
Answer choices
- A. The client’s preference eliminates the need to disclose known material facts.
- B. Recognize disclosure of known material property conditions in a way that fits Illinois exam practice.
- C. The party who complains first automatically receives the remedy requested.
- D. Escrow or closing staff automatically assume all brokerage agency and disclosure duties.
Correct Answer
B. Recognize disclosure of known material property conditions in a way that fits Illinois exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is B because seller property disclosure requires candidates to recognize disclosure of known material property conditions. 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.
