Contracts, Finance, and Transfer Practice Question
Question
A buyer asks a licensee for an exam-focused explanation for the Pennsylvania Real Estate Salesperson Exam involving escrow and state agreement and disclosure practice. Which statement is the best answer? (Item 160)
Answer choices
- A. Local custom controls even when a statute, regulation, contract, or disclosure rule applies.
- B. The requirement matters only when the buyer obtains institutional financing.
- C. The affiliated licensee may handle the matter independently without broker responsibility.
- D. Identify neutral handling of funds and documents under written instructions in a way that fits Pennsylvania exam practice.
Correct Answer
D. Identify neutral handling of funds and documents under written instructions in a way that fits Pennsylvania exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is D because escrow requires candidates to identify neutral handling of funds and documents under written instructions. The Pennsylvania 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.
