Principles, Property, and Land Use Practice Question
Question
A broker is correcting a new licensee’s misunderstanding for the Massachusetts Real Estate Salesperson Exam involving easements and Massachusetts Board of Registration. Which statement is the best answer? (Item 7)
Answer choices
- A. The issue can be ignored if the parties want to close quickly.
- B. The rule applies only to commercial transactions and never to residential transactions.
- C. Identify rights to use another parcel and how they burden or benefit property in a way that fits Massachusetts exam practice.
- D. Client funds may be mixed with business funds if the broker reconciles the account later.
Correct Answer
C. Identify rights to use another parcel and how they burden or benefit property in a way that fits Massachusetts exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is C because easements requires candidates to identify rights to use another parcel and how they burden or benefit property. 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.
