Contracts, Finance, and Transfer Practice Question
Question
A broker is correcting a new licensee’s misunderstanding for the Indiana Real Estate Broker Exam involving purchase agreement and broker affiliation and supervision. Which statement is the best answer? (Item 23)
Answer choices
- A. Client funds may be mixed with business funds if the broker reconciles the account later.
- B. The issue can be ignored if the parties want to close quickly.
- C. Identify essential residential sale terms and buyer/seller obligations in a way that fits Indiana exam practice.
- D. The rule applies only to commercial transactions and never to residential transactions.
Correct Answer
C. Identify essential residential sale terms and buyer/seller obligations in a way that fits Indiana exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is C because purchase agreement requires candidates to identify essential residential sale terms and buyer/seller obligations. 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.
