Question

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. The requirement matters only when the buyer obtains institutional financing.
- D. Use comparable sales adjustments for residential valuation in a way that fits Oregon exam practice.
Correct Answer
D. Use comparable sales adjustments for residential valuation in a way that fits Oregon exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is D because sales comparison approach requires candidates to use comparable sales adjustments for residential valuation. 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.
