Contracts, Finance, and Transfer Practice Question
Question
A property manager asks how a rule affects a rental property for the North Carolina Real Estate Broker Exam involving specific performance and North Carolina Real Estate Commission. Which response best applies the rule? (Item 12)
Answer choices
- A. The rule applies only to commercial transactions and never to residential transactions.
- B. Client funds may be mixed with business funds if the broker reconciles the account later.
- C. The issue can be ignored if the parties want to close quickly.
- D. Recognize a court order requiring contract performance in appropriate cases in a way that fits North Carolina exam practice.
Correct Answer
D. Recognize a court order requiring contract performance in appropriate cases in a way that fits North Carolina exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is D because specific performance requires candidates to recognize a court order requiring contract performance in appropriate cases. 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.
