Contracts, Finance, and Transfer Practice Question
Question
A client asks whether a fact should be disclosed for the New Jersey Real Estate Salesperson Exam involving exclusive right to sell and New Jersey disclosure and consumer protection practice. Which statement is the best answer? (Item 148)
Answer choices
- A. The rule applies only to commercial transactions and never to residential transactions.
- B. Client funds may be mixed with business funds if the broker reconciles the account later.
- C. The issue can be ignored if the parties want to close quickly.
- D. Recognize a listing that generally earns commission if the property sells during the listing term in a way that fits New Jersey exam practice.
Correct Answer
D. Recognize a listing that generally earns commission if the property sells during the listing term in a way that fits New Jersey exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is D because exclusive right to sell requires candidates to recognize a listing that generally earns commission if the property sells during the listing term. The New Jersey 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.
