Fair Housing, Practice, and Disclosures Practice Question

Question

A client asks whether a fact should be disclosed for the Massachusetts Real Estate Salesperson Exam involving antitrust price fixing and broker-salesperson supervision. Which response best applies the rule? (Item 125)

Answer choices

1. A. Avoid agreements with competitors about commission rates or fees in a way that fits Massachusetts exam practice.
2. B. Escrow or closing staff automatically assume all brokerage agency and disclosure duties.
3. C. The client’s preference eliminates the need to disclose known material facts.
4. D. The party who complains first automatically receives the remedy requested.

Correct Answer

A. Avoid agreements with competitors about commission rates or fees in a way that fits Massachusetts exam practice.

Explanation

The correct answer is A because antitrust price fixing requires candidates to avoid agreements with competitors about commission rates or fees. 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.
