Fair Housing, Practice, and Disclosures Practice Question
Question
A closing coordinator flags an issue before settlement for the Massachusetts Real Estate Salesperson Exam involving blockbusting and lead paint and consumer disclosure awareness. Which statement is the best answer? (Item 84)
Answer choices
- A. The requirement matters only when the buyer obtains institutional financing.
- B. The affiliated licensee may handle the matter independently without broker responsibility.
- C. Local custom controls even when a statute, regulation, contract, or disclosure rule applies.
- D. Identify inducing sales or rentals through protected-class fear tactics in a way that fits Massachusetts exam practice.
Correct Answer
D. Identify inducing sales or rentals through protected-class fear tactics in a way that fits Massachusetts exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is D because blockbusting requires candidates to identify inducing sales or rentals through protected-class fear tactics. 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.
