Real Estate Principles Practice Question
Question
A supervising broker is correcting a salesperson’s misunderstanding in a New York real estate transaction involving contracts. Which answer best reduces transaction risk? (Item 10)
Answer choices
- A. The rule applies only to commercial property and never to residential property.
- B. Recognize offer, acceptance, consideration, capacity, lawful purpose, contingencies, and breach remedies.
- C. The broker may mix client funds with business funds if the amount is small and later reconciled.
- D. The issue can be ignored if both parties want the transaction to close quickly.
Correct Answer
B. Recognize offer, acceptance, consideration, capacity, lawful purpose, contingencies, and breach remedies.
Explanation
The correct answer is B because contracts requires candidates to recognize offer, acceptance, consideration, capacity, lawful purpose, contingencies, and breach remedies. 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.
