Fair Housing, Practice, and Disclosures Practice Question
Question
A seller is preparing to list a home for the Missouri Real Estate Salesperson Exam involving material facts and broker-salesperson supervision. Which answer best reduces risk? (Item 75)
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. Disclose known facts affecting value, desirability, or party decision-making in a way that fits Missouri exam practice.
- D. The rule applies only to commercial transactions and never to residential transactions.
Correct Answer
C. Disclose known facts affecting value, desirability, or party decision-making in a way that fits Missouri exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is C because material facts requires candidates to disclose known facts affecting value, desirability, or party decision-making. 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.
