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 counteroffer and New Jersey disclosure and consumer protection practice. What should the licensee understand? (Item 96)
Answer choices
- A. The issue can be ignored if the parties want to close quickly.
- B. The rule applies only to commercial transactions and never to residential transactions.
- C. Client funds may be mixed with business funds if the broker reconciles the account later.
- D. Recognize that a counteroffer rejects the prior offer and proposes new terms in a way that fits New Jersey exam practice.
Correct Answer
D. Recognize that a counteroffer rejects the prior offer and proposes new terms in a way that fits New Jersey 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 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.
