Fair Housing, Practice, and Disclosures Practice Question
Question
A client asks whether a fact should be disclosed for the Oregon Real Estate Broker Exam involving environmental hazards and seller property disclosure awareness. What should the licensee understand? (Item 92)
Answer choices
- A. The party who complains first automatically receives the remedy requested.
- B. Escrow or closing staff automatically assume all brokerage agency and disclosure duties.
- C. The client’s preference eliminates the need to disclose known material facts.
- D. Recognize issues such as mold, asbestos, radon, contamination, flood, or fire risk in a way that fits Oregon exam practice.
Correct Answer
D. Recognize issues such as mold, asbestos, radon, contamination, flood, or fire risk in a way that fits Oregon exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is D because environmental hazards requires candidates to recognize issues such as mold, asbestos, radon, contamination, flood, or fire risk. 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.
