Contracts, Finance, and Transfer Practice Question
Question
A client asks whether a fact should be disclosed for the Oregon Real Estate Broker Exam involving exclusive right to sell and broker supervision and disclosure practice. Which statement is most accurate for exam purposes? (Item 22)
Answer choices
- A. Local custom controls even when a statute, regulation, contract, or disclosure rule applies.
- B. Recognize a listing that generally earns commission if the property sells during the listing term in a way that fits Oregon exam practice.
- C. The requirement matters only when the buyer obtains institutional financing.
- D. The affiliated licensee may handle the matter independently without broker responsibility.
Correct Answer
B. Recognize a listing that generally earns commission if the property sells during the listing term in a way that fits Oregon exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is B because exclusive right to sell requires candidates to recognize a listing that generally earns commission if the property sells during the listing term. The Oregon 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.
