Contracts, Finance, and Transfer Practice Question
Question
A broker is correcting a new licensee’s misunderstanding for the Massachusetts Real Estate Salesperson Exam involving breach and broker-salesperson supervision. What should the licensee understand? (Item 137)
Answer choices
- A. Identify nonperformance and available contractual remedies in a way that fits Massachusetts exam practice.
- B. Client funds may be mixed with business funds if the broker reconciles the account later.
- C. The issue can be ignored if the parties want to close quickly.
- D. The rule applies only to commercial transactions and never to residential transactions.
Correct Answer
A. Identify nonperformance and available contractual remedies in a way that fits Massachusetts exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is A because breach requires candidates to identify nonperformance and available contractual remedies. The Massachusetts 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.
