Contracts, Finance, and Transfer Practice Question
Question
A buyer asks a licensee for an exam-focused explanation for the Ohio Real Estate Salesperson Exam involving counteroffer and Ohio Division of Real Estate. Which statement is most accurate for exam purposes? (Item 168)
Answer choices
- A. Local custom controls even when a statute, regulation, contract, or disclosure rule applies.
- B. The requirement matters only when the buyer obtains institutional financing.
- C. The affiliated licensee may handle the matter independently without broker responsibility.
- D. Recognize that a counteroffer rejects the prior offer and proposes new terms in a way that fits Ohio exam practice.
Correct Answer
D. Recognize that a counteroffer rejects the prior offer and proposes new terms in a way that fits Ohio exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is D because counteroffer requires candidates to recognize that a counteroffer rejects the prior offer and proposes new terms. The Ohio 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.
