Fair Housing, Practice, and Disclosures Practice Question
Question
A buyer asks a licensee for an exam-focused explanation for the Massachusetts Real Estate Salesperson Exam involving redlining and Massachusetts Board of Registration. What should the licensee understand? (Item 149)
Answer choices
- A. Recognize discriminatory lending or service denial based on area characteristics in a way that fits Massachusetts exam practice.
- B. Escrow or closing staff automatically assume all brokerage agency and disclosure duties.
- C. The client’s preference eliminates the need to disclose known material facts.
- D. The party who complains first automatically receives the remedy requested.
Correct Answer
A. Recognize discriminatory lending or service denial based on area characteristics in a way that fits Massachusetts exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is A because redlining requires candidates to recognize discriminatory lending or service denial based on area characteristics. 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.
