Fair Housing, Practice, and Disclosures Practice Question
Question
A supervising broker is reviewing a transaction file for the Ohio Real Estate Salesperson Exam involving market allocation and state-specific license supervision. Which response best applies the rule? (Item 190)
Answer choices
- A. The party who complains first automatically receives the remedy requested.
- B. Avoid dividing territories, customers, or property types with competitors in a way that fits Ohio exam practice.
- C. Escrow or closing staff automatically assume all brokerage agency and disclosure duties.
- D. The client’s preference eliminates the need to disclose known material facts.
Correct Answer
B. Avoid dividing territories, customers, or property types with competitors in a way that fits Ohio exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is B because market allocation requires candidates to avoid dividing territories, customers, or property types with competitors. 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.
