Fair Housing, Practice, and Disclosures Practice Question
Question
A supervising broker is reviewing a transaction file for the Michigan Real Estate Salesperson Exam involving blockbusting and seller disclosure practice. What should the licensee understand? (Item 116)
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. 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.
