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 specific performance and consumer notice concepts. Which statement is most accurate for exam purposes? (Item 30)
Answer choices
- A. Client funds may be mixed with business funds if the broker reconciles the account later.
- B. Recognize a court order requiring contract performance in appropriate cases in a way that fits Pennsylvania exam practice.
- C. The issue can be ignored if the parties want to close quickly.
- D. The rule applies only to commercial transactions and never to residential transactions.
Correct Answer
B. Recognize a court order requiring contract performance in appropriate cases in a way that fits Pennsylvania exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is B because specific performance requires candidates to recognize a court order requiring contract performance in appropriate cases. 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.
