Contracts, Finance, and Transfer Practice Question
Question
A salesperson notices a possible compliance problem for the Indiana Real Estate Broker Exam involving earnest money and state agency and disclosure practice. Which statement is the best answer? (Item 98)
Answer choices
- A. The party who complains first automatically receives the remedy requested.
- B. Recognize deposit handling and contract default implications in a way that fits Indiana exam practice.
- C. Escrow or closing staff automatically assume all brokerage agency and disclosure duties.
- D. The client’s preference eliminates the need to disclose known material facts.
Correct Answer
B. Recognize deposit handling and contract default implications in a way that fits Indiana exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is B because earnest money requires candidates to recognize deposit handling and contract default implications. The Indiana 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.
