Principles, Property, and Land Use Practice Question
Question
A seller is preparing to list a home for the Oregon Real Estate Broker Exam involving cost approach and seller property disclosure awareness. Which statement is most accurate for exam purposes? (Item 57)
Answer choices
- A. Combine land value with replacement cost less depreciation in a way that fits Oregon exam practice.
- B. The client’s preference eliminates the need to disclose known material facts.
- C. The party who complains first automatically receives the remedy requested.
- D. Escrow or closing staff automatically assume all brokerage agency and disclosure duties.
Correct Answer
A. Combine land value with replacement cost less depreciation in a way that fits Oregon exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is A because cost approach requires candidates to combine land value with replacement cost less depreciation. 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.
