Fair Housing, Practice, and Disclosures Practice Question
Question
A closing coordinator flags an issue before settlement for the Indiana Real Estate Broker Exam involving seller property disclosure and Indiana Real Estate Commission. Which statement is the best answer? (Item 10)
Answer choices
- A. The affiliated licensee may handle the matter independently without broker responsibility.
- B. Recognize disclosure of known material property conditions in a way that fits Indiana exam practice.
- C. Local custom controls even when a statute, regulation, contract, or disclosure rule applies.
- D. The requirement matters only when the buyer obtains institutional financing.
Correct Answer
B. Recognize disclosure of known material property conditions in a way that fits Indiana exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is B because seller property disclosure requires candidates to recognize disclosure of known material property conditions. 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.
