Fair Housing, Practice, and Disclosures Practice Question
Question
A supervising broker is reviewing a transaction file for the Pennsylvania Real Estate Salesperson Exam involving state fair housing and state agreement and disclosure practice. Which statement is most accurate for exam purposes? (Item 82)
Answer choices
- A. The client’s preference eliminates the need to disclose known material facts.
- B. Recognize that state protections may be broader than federal minimums in a way that fits Pennsylvania exam practice.
- C. The party who complains first automatically receives the remedy requested.
- D. Escrow or closing staff automatically assume all brokerage agency and disclosure duties.
Correct Answer
B. Recognize that state protections may be broader than federal minimums in a way that fits Pennsylvania exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is B because state fair housing requires candidates to recognize that state protections may be broader than federal minimums. 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.
