Principles, Property, and Land Use Practice Question
Question
A license applicant is reviewing a practice scenario for the Michigan Real Estate Salesperson Exam involving legal descriptions and agency and trust-money compliance. Which statement is the best answer? (Item 173)
Answer choices
- A. Distinguish metes and bounds, lot and block, and survey-based descriptions in a way that fits Michigan exam practice.
- 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. A verbal understanding always replaces a written real estate requirement.
Correct Answer
A. Distinguish metes and bounds, lot and block, and survey-based descriptions in a way that fits Michigan exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is A because legal descriptions requires candidates to distinguish metes and bounds, lot and block, and survey-based descriptions. 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.
