Contracts, Finance, and Transfer Practice Question
Question
A broker is correcting a new licensee’s misunderstanding for the South Carolina Real Estate Salesperson Exam involving specific performance and South Carolina Real Estate Commission. Which statement is the best answer? (Item 66)
Answer choices
- A. The requirement matters only when the buyer obtains institutional financing.
- B. Recognize a court order requiring contract performance in appropriate cases in a way that fits South Carolina exam practice.
- C. The affiliated licensee may handle the matter independently without broker responsibility.
- D. Local custom controls even when a statute, regulation, contract, or disclosure rule applies.
Correct Answer
B. Recognize a court order requiring contract performance in appropriate cases in a way that fits South Carolina exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is B because specific performance requires candidates to recognize a court order requiring contract performance in appropriate cases. The South Carolina 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.
