Real Estate Principles Practice Question

Question

A client wants to know what should be documented in writing in a New York real estate transaction involving appraisal approaches. What should the licensee understand? (Item 128)

Answer choices

1. A. The salesperson may handle the matter independently without broker involvement when compensation is expected.
2. B. Local custom controls even when a statute, regulation, contract, or disclosure rule applies.
3. C. The requirement matters only if the buyer uses lender financing.
4. D. Distinguish sales comparison, cost, and income approaches to value.

Correct Answer

D. Distinguish sales comparison, cost, and income approaches to value.

Explanation

The correct answer is D because appraisal approaches requires candidates to distinguish sales comparison, cost, and income approaches to value. 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.
