- C. The issue can be ignored if the parties want to close quickly.
- D. Use comparable sales adjustments for residential valuation in a way that fits Pennsylvania exam practice.
Correct Answer
D. Use comparable sales adjustments for residential valuation in a way that fits Pennsylvania exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is D because sales comparison approach requires candidates to use comparable sales adjustments for residential valuation. 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.
