Principles, Property, and Land Use Practice Question
Question
A seller is preparing to list a home for the Massachusetts Real Estate Salesperson Exam involving title insurance and broker-salesperson supervision. Which statement is most accurate for exam purposes? (Item 160)
Answer choices
- A. A licensee may give legal conclusions instead of recommending qualified legal advice when uncertain.
- B. A verbal understanding always replaces a written real estate requirement.
- C. The safest practice is to avoid written documentation so fewer questions are raised later.
- D. Recognize protection against covered title defects in a way that fits Massachusetts exam practice.
Correct Answer
D. Recognize protection against covered title defects in a way that fits Massachusetts exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is D because title insurance requires candidates to recognize protection against covered title defects. 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.
