Fair Housing, Practice, and Disclosures Practice Question
Question
An agent compares two similar exam concepts for the Missouri Real Estate Salesperson Exam involving steering and Missouri Real Estate Commission. Which answer best reduces risk? (Item 51)
Answer choices
- A. Client funds may be mixed with business funds if the broker reconciles the account later.
- B. The issue can be ignored if the parties want to close quickly.
- C. Avoid guiding prospects based on protected traits or neighborhood stereotypes in a way that fits Missouri exam practice.
- D. The rule applies only to commercial transactions and never to residential transactions.
Correct Answer
C. Avoid guiding prospects based on protected traits or neighborhood stereotypes in a way that fits Missouri exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is C because steering requires candidates to avoid guiding prospects based on protected traits or neighborhood stereotypes. 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.
