Principles, Property, and Land Use Practice Question
Question
A broker is correcting a new licensee’s misunderstanding for the Ohio Real Estate Salesperson Exam involving sales comparison approach and state-specific license supervision. Which statement is the best answer? (Item 176)
Answer choices
- A. The rule applies only to commercial transactions and never to residential transactions.
- B. Client funds may be mixed with business funds if the broker reconciles the account later.
- C. The issue can be ignored if the parties want to close quickly.
- D. Use comparable sales adjustments for residential valuation in a way that fits Ohio exam practice.
Correct Answer
D. Use comparable sales adjustments for residential valuation in a way that fits Ohio exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is D because sales comparison approach requires candidates to use comparable sales adjustments for residential valuation. 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.
