Fair Housing, Practice, and Disclosures Practice Question
Question
A broker is correcting a new licensee’s misunderstanding for the North Carolina Real Estate Broker Exam involving environmental hazards and provisional broker supervision. Which response best applies the rule? (Item 76)
Answer choices
- A. Escrow or closing staff automatically assume all brokerage agency and disclosure duties.
- B. The client’s preference eliminates the need to disclose known material facts.
- C. The party who complains first automatically receives the remedy requested.
- D. Recognize issues such as mold, asbestos, radon, contamination, flood, or fire risk in a way that fits North Carolina exam practice.
Correct Answer
D. Recognize issues such as mold, asbestos, radon, contamination, flood, or fire risk in a way that fits North Carolina exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is D because environmental hazards requires candidates to recognize issues such as mold, asbestos, radon, contamination, flood, or fire risk. 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.
