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 lead-based paint and lead paint and consumer disclosure awareness. Which statement is most accurate for exam purposes? (Item 89)
Answer choices
- A. Apply federal disclosure concepts for pre-1978 residential housing 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. Apply federal disclosure concepts for pre-1978 residential housing in a way that fits Massachusetts exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is A because lead-based paint requires candidates to apply federal disclosure concepts for pre-1978 residential housing. 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.
