Principles, Property, and Land Use Practice Question
Question
A salesperson notices a possible compliance problem for the Pennsylvania Real Estate Salesperson Exam involving legal descriptions and Pennsylvania Real Estate Commission. Which statement is the best answer? (Item 133)
Answer choices
- A. Distinguish metes and bounds, lot and block, and survey-based descriptions in a way that fits Pennsylvania exam practice.
- B. The safest practice is to avoid written documentation so fewer questions are raised later.
- C. A licensee may give legal conclusions instead of recommending qualified legal advice when uncertain.
- D. A verbal understanding always replaces a written real estate requirement.
Correct Answer
A. Distinguish metes and bounds, lot and block, and survey-based descriptions in a way that fits Pennsylvania exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is A because legal descriptions requires candidates to distinguish metes and bounds, lot and block, and survey-based descriptions. 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.
