Fair Housing, Practice, and Disclosures Practice Question
Question
A buyer asks a licensee for an exam-focused explanation for the Indiana Real Estate Broker Exam involving federal fair housing and broker affiliation and supervision. Which statement is most accurate for exam purposes? (Item 65)
Answer choices
- A. Recognize protected classes and prohibited discrimination in sale, rental, and financing in a way that fits Indiana exam practice.
- B. A licensee may give legal conclusions instead of recommending qualified legal advice when uncertain.
- C. A verbal understanding always replaces a written real estate requirement.
- D. The safest practice is to avoid written documentation so fewer questions are raised later.
Correct Answer
A. Recognize protected classes and prohibited discrimination in sale, rental, and financing in a way that fits Indiana exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is A because federal fair housing requires candidates to recognize protected classes and prohibited discrimination in sale, rental, and financing. 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.
