Fair Housing, Practice, and Disclosures Practice Question
Question
A broker is correcting a new licensee’s misunderstanding for the Indiana Real Estate Broker Exam involving antitrust price fixing and Indiana Real Estate Commission. Which statement is most accurate for exam purposes? (Item 13)
Answer choices
- A. Avoid agreements with competitors about commission rates or fees in a way that fits Indiana exam practice.
- B. The safest practice is to avoid written documentation so fewer questions are raised later.
- C. A licensee may give legal conclusions instead of recommending qualified legal advice when uncertain.
- D. A verbal understanding always replaces a written real estate requirement.
Correct Answer
A. Avoid agreements with competitors about commission rates or fees in a way that fits Indiana exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is A because antitrust price fixing requires candidates to avoid agreements with competitors about commission rates or fees. 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.
