Principles, Property, and Land Use Practice Question

Question

A buyer asks a licensee for an exam-focused explanation for the Massachusetts Real Estate Salesperson Exam involving zoning and Massachusetts Board of Registration. Which statement is most accurate for exam purposes? (Item 69)

Answer choices

1. A. Apply public land-use controls adopted under police power in a way that fits Massachusetts exam practice.
2. B. The affiliated licensee may handle the matter independently without broker responsibility.
3. C. Local custom controls even when a statute, regulation, contract, or disclosure rule applies.
4. D. The requirement matters only when the buyer obtains institutional financing.

Correct Answer

A. Apply public land-use controls adopted under police power in a way that fits Massachusetts exam practice.

Explanation

The correct answer is A because zoning requires candidates to apply public land-use controls adopted under police power. 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.
