Contracts, Finance, and Transfer Practice Question
Question
A supervising broker is reviewing a transaction file for the Massachusetts Real Estate Salesperson Exam involving purchase agreement and broker-salesperson supervision. Which answer best reduces risk? (Item 131)
Answer choices
- A. The affiliated licensee may handle the matter independently without broker responsibility.
- B. Local custom controls even when a statute, regulation, contract, or disclosure rule applies.
- C. Identify essential residential sale terms and buyer/seller obligations in a way that fits Massachusetts exam practice.
- D. The requirement matters only when the buyer obtains institutional financing.
Correct Answer
C. Identify essential residential sale terms and buyer/seller obligations in a way that fits Massachusetts exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is C because purchase agreement requires candidates to identify essential residential sale terms and buyer/seller obligations. 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.
