Fair Housing, Practice, and Disclosures Practice Question
Question
A broker is correcting a new licensee’s misunderstanding for the Michigan Real Estate Salesperson Exam involving blockbusting and Michigan occupational licensing regulation. Which answer best reduces risk? (Item 52)
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. Identify inducing sales or rentals through protected-class fear tactics in a way that fits Michigan exam practice.
Correct Answer
D. Identify inducing sales or rentals through protected-class fear tactics in a way that fits Michigan exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is D because blockbusting requires candidates to identify inducing sales or rentals through protected-class fear tactics. 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.
