Fair Housing, Practice, and Disclosures Practice Question
Question
A license applicant is reviewing a practice scenario for the Oregon Real Estate Broker Exam involving steering and seller property disclosure awareness. What should the licensee understand? (Item 35)
Answer choices
- A. The affiliated licensee may handle the matter independently without broker responsibility.
- B. Local custom controls even when a statute, regulation, contract, or disclosure rule applies.
- C. Avoid guiding prospects based on protected traits or neighborhood stereotypes in a way that fits Oregon exam practice.
- D. The requirement matters only when the buyer obtains institutional financing.
Correct Answer
C. Avoid guiding prospects based on protected traits or neighborhood stereotypes in a way that fits Oregon exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is C because steering requires candidates to avoid guiding prospects based on protected traits or neighborhood stereotypes. 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.
