Principles, Property, and Land Use Practice Question
Question
A supervising broker is reviewing a transaction file for the Pennsylvania Real Estate Salesperson Exam involving property taxation and state agreement and disclosure practice. Which answer best reduces risk? (Item 52)
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. The rule applies only to commercial transactions and never to residential transactions.
- D. Recognize taxation as a government power affecting real property in a way that fits Pennsylvania exam practice.
Correct Answer
D. Recognize taxation as a government power affecting real property in a way that fits Pennsylvania exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is D because property taxation requires candidates to recognize taxation as a government power affecting real property. 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.
