Fair Housing, Practice, and Disclosures Practice Question
Question
A salesperson notices a possible compliance problem for the Indiana Real Estate Broker Exam involving blockbusting and broker affiliation and supervision. Which statement is most accurate for exam purposes? (Item 68)
Answer choices
- A. The issue can be ignored if the parties want to close quickly.
- B. The rule applies only to commercial transactions and never to residential transactions.
- C. Client funds may be mixed with business funds if the broker reconciles the account later.
- D. Identify inducing sales or rentals through protected-class fear tactics in a way that fits Indiana exam practice.
Correct Answer
D. Identify inducing sales or rentals through protected-class fear tactics in a way that fits Indiana exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is D because blockbusting requires candidates to identify inducing sales or rentals through protected-class fear tactics. 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.
