Fair Housing, Practice, and Disclosures Practice Question
Question
A seller is preparing to list a home for the Pennsylvania Real Estate Salesperson Exam involving steering and state agreement and disclosure practice. Which answer best reduces risk? (Item 131)
Answer choices
- A. Client funds may be mixed with business funds if the broker reconciles the account later.
- B. The issue can be ignored if the parties want to close quickly.
- C. Avoid guiding prospects based on protected traits or neighborhood stereotypes in a way that fits Pennsylvania exam practice.
- D. The rule applies only to commercial transactions and never to residential transactions.
Correct Answer
C. Avoid guiding prospects based on protected traits or neighborhood stereotypes in a way that fits Pennsylvania exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is C because steering requires candidates to avoid guiding prospects based on protected traits or neighborhood stereotypes. 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.
