Fair Housing, Practice, and Disclosures Practice Question
Question
A seller is preparing to list a home for the Oregon Real Estate Broker Exam involving steering and broker supervision and disclosure practice. Which statement is most accurate for exam purposes? (Item 67)
Answer choices
- A. The requirement matters only when the buyer obtains institutional financing.
- B. The affiliated licensee may handle the matter independently without broker responsibility.
- C. Avoid guiding prospects based on protected traits or neighborhood stereotypes in a way that fits Oregon exam practice.
- D. Local custom controls even when a statute, regulation, contract, or disclosure rule applies.
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.
