Fair Housing, Practice, and Disclosures Practice Question
Question
A buyer asks a licensee for an exam-focused explanation for the Michigan Real Estate Salesperson Exam involving advertising language and agency and trust-money compliance. Which answer best reduces risk? (Item 184)
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. Avoid preferences, limitations, or discriminatory wording in a way that fits Michigan exam practice.
Correct Answer
D. Avoid preferences, limitations, or discriminatory wording in a way that fits Michigan exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is D because advertising language requires candidates to avoid preferences, limitations, or discriminatory wording. 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.
