Contracts, Finance, and Transfer Practice Question
Question
A client asks whether a fact should be disclosed for the Missouri Real Estate Salesperson Exam involving counteroffer and Missouri Real Estate Commission. Which response best applies the rule? (Item 60)
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 Missouri exam practice.
Correct Answer
D. Recognize that a counteroffer rejects the prior offer and proposes new terms in a way that fits Missouri 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 Missouri 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.
