Contracts, Finance, and Transfer Practice Question
Question
A property manager asks how a rule affects a rental property for the Michigan Real Estate Salesperson Exam involving counteroffer and Michigan occupational licensing regulation. Which statement is most accurate for exam purposes? (Item 168)
Answer choices
- A. The requirement matters only when the buyer obtains institutional financing.
- B. The affiliated licensee may handle the matter independently without broker responsibility.
- C. Local custom controls even when a statute, regulation, contract, or disclosure rule applies.
- D. Recognize that a counteroffer rejects the prior offer and proposes new terms in a way that fits Michigan exam practice.
Correct Answer
D. Recognize that a counteroffer rejects the prior offer and proposes new terms in a way that fits Michigan exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is D because counteroffer requires candidates to recognize that a counteroffer rejects the prior offer and proposes new terms. The Michigan 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.
