Principles, Property, and Land Use Practice Question
Question
A closing coordinator flags an issue before settlement for the North Carolina Real Estate Broker Exam involving legal descriptions and North Carolina Real Estate Commission. Which statement is the best answer? (Item 73)
Answer choices
- A. Distinguish metes and bounds, lot and block, and survey-based descriptions in a way that fits North Carolina exam practice.
- 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. Escrow or closing staff automatically assume all brokerage agency and disclosure duties.
Correct Answer
A. Distinguish metes and bounds, lot and block, and survey-based descriptions in a way that fits North Carolina exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is A because legal descriptions requires candidates to distinguish metes and bounds, lot and block, and survey-based descriptions. 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.
