Contracts, Finance, and Transfer Practice Question
Question
A broker is correcting a new licensee’s misunderstanding for the Pennsylvania Real Estate Salesperson Exam involving deed types and state agreement and disclosure practice. What should the licensee understand? (Item 158)
Answer choices
- A. The rule applies only to commercial transactions and never to residential transactions.
- B. Distinguish warranty, grant, special warranty, and quitclaim concepts at a high level in a way that fits Pennsylvania exam practice.
- C. Client funds may be mixed with business funds if the broker reconciles the account later.
- D. The issue can be ignored if the parties want to close quickly.
Correct Answer
B. Distinguish warranty, grant, special warranty, and quitclaim concepts at a high level in a way that fits Pennsylvania exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is B because deed types requires candidates to distinguish warranty, grant, special warranty, and quitclaim concepts at a high level. 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.
