Principles, Property, and Land Use Practice Question
Question
A seller is preparing to list a home for the Massachusetts Real Estate Salesperson Exam involving variance and broker-salesperson supervision. What should the licensee understand? (Item 30)
Answer choices
- A. The party who complains first automatically receives the remedy requested.
- B. Recognize relief from zoning rules due to property-specific hardship in a way that fits Massachusetts exam practice.
- C. Escrow or closing staff automatically assume all brokerage agency and disclosure duties.
- D. The client’s preference eliminates the need to disclose known material facts.
Correct Answer
B. Recognize relief from zoning rules due to property-specific hardship in a way that fits Massachusetts exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is B because variance requires candidates to recognize relief from zoning rules due to property-specific hardship. 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.
