Fair Housing, Practice, and Disclosures Practice Question
Question
A buyer asks a licensee for an exam-focused explanation for the Ohio Real Estate Salesperson Exam involving market allocation and agency disclosure and brokerage relationship practice. Which statement is most accurate for exam purposes? (Item 78)
Answer choices
- A. The client’s preference eliminates the need to disclose known material facts.
- B. Avoid dividing territories, customers, or property types with competitors in a way that fits Ohio exam practice.
- 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
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.
