Fair Housing, Practice, and Disclosures Practice Question
Question
An agent compares two similar exam concepts for the Massachusetts Real Estate Salesperson Exam involving advertising language and lead paint and consumer disclosure awareness. Which statement is the best answer? (Item 136)
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. The requirement matters only when the buyer obtains institutional financing.
- D. Avoid preferences, limitations, or discriminatory wording in a way that fits Massachusetts exam practice.
Correct Answer
D. Avoid preferences, limitations, or discriminatory wording in a way that fits Massachusetts exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is D because advertising language requires candidates to avoid preferences, limitations, or discriminatory wording. 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.
