Principles, Property, and Land Use Practice Question
Question
A license applicant is reviewing a practice scenario for the Massachusetts Real Estate Salesperson Exam involving restrictive covenants and Massachusetts Board of Registration. Which answer best reduces risk? (Item 128)
Answer choices
- A. A verbal understanding always replaces a written real estate requirement.
- B. The safest practice is to avoid written documentation so fewer questions are raised later.
- C. A licensee may give legal conclusions instead of recommending qualified legal advice when uncertain.
- D. Recognize private deed or association limits on property use in a way that fits Massachusetts exam practice.
Correct Answer
D. Recognize private deed or association limits on property use in a way that fits Massachusetts exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is D because restrictive covenants requires candidates to recognize private deed or association limits on property use. 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.
