Contracts, Finance, and Transfer Practice Question
Question
A closing coordinator flags an issue before settlement for the North Carolina Real Estate Broker Exam involving closing statement and material facts and due diligence practice. Which statement is most accurate for exam purposes? (Item 53)
Answer choices
- A. Distinguish buyer and seller debits and credits at settlement in a way that fits North Carolina exam practice.
- B. A licensee may give legal conclusions instead of recommending qualified legal advice when uncertain.
- C. A verbal understanding always replaces a written real estate requirement.
- D. The safest practice is to avoid written documentation so fewer questions are raised later.
Correct Answer
A. Distinguish buyer and seller debits and credits at settlement in a way that fits North Carolina exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is A because closing statement requires candidates to distinguish buyer and seller debits and credits at settlement. The North Carolina 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.
