Fair Housing and Disclosures Practice Question

Question

A supervising broker is correcting a salesperson’s misunderstanding in a New York real estate transaction involving property condition disclosure. What should the licensee understand? (Item 139)

Answer choices

1. A. Escrow automatically assumes all brokerage disclosure and agency duties.
2. B. The client’s preference eliminates the need to disclose known material facts.
3. C. Recognize required seller disclosure concepts and limitations in residential transfers.
4. D. The party who complains first automatically receives the legal remedy requested.

Correct Answer

C. Recognize required seller disclosure concepts and limitations in residential transfers.

Explanation

The correct answer is C because property condition disclosure requires candidates to recognize required seller disclosure concepts and limitations in residential transfers. The other options rely on unsafe assumptions about custom, oral agreement, escrow, client preference, or independent salesperson authority and do not reflect sound New York exam practice.
