Contracts, Finance, and Transfer Practice Question
Question
A property manager asks how a rule affects a rental property for the New Jersey Real Estate Salesperson Exam involving exclusive right to sell and New Jersey Real Estate Commission. Which answer best reduces risk? (Item 166)
Answer choices
- A. The requirement matters only when the buyer obtains institutional financing.
- B. Recognize a listing that generally earns commission if the property sells during the listing term in a way that fits New Jersey exam practice.
- C. The affiliated licensee may handle the matter independently without broker responsibility.
- D. Local custom controls even when a statute, regulation, contract, or disclosure rule applies.
Correct Answer
B. 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 B 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.
