Fair Housing, Practice, and Disclosures Practice Question
Question
A broker is correcting a new licensee’s misunderstanding for the Pennsylvania Real Estate Salesperson Exam involving seller property disclosure and state agreement and disclosure practice. Which answer best reduces risk? (Item 138)
Answer choices
- A. Escrow or closing staff automatically assume all brokerage agency and disclosure duties.
- B. Recognize disclosure of known material property conditions in a way that fits Pennsylvania exam practice.
- C. The client’s preference eliminates the need to disclose known material facts.
- D. The party who complains first automatically receives the remedy requested.
Correct Answer
B. Recognize disclosure of known material property conditions in a way that fits Pennsylvania exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is B because seller property disclosure requires candidates to recognize disclosure of known material property conditions. 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.
