Fair Housing, Practice, and Disclosures Practice Question
Question
A seller is preparing to list a home for the Pennsylvania Real Estate Salesperson Exam involving material facts and consumer notice concepts. Which statement is most accurate for exam purposes? (Item 171)
Answer choices
- A. The issue can be ignored if the parties want to close quickly.
- B. The rule applies only to commercial transactions and never to residential transactions.
- C. Disclose known facts affecting value, desirability, or party decision-making in a way that fits Pennsylvania exam practice.
- D. Client funds may be mixed with business funds if the broker reconciles the account later.
Correct Answer
C. Disclose known facts affecting value, desirability, or party decision-making in a way that fits Pennsylvania exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is C because material facts requires candidates to disclose known facts affecting value, desirability, or party decision-making. 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.
