Fair Housing, Practice, and Disclosures Practice Question
Question
A closing coordinator flags an issue before settlement for the South Carolina Real Estate Salesperson Exam involving material facts and state disclosure practice. Which response best applies the rule? (Item 43)
Answer choices
- A. Local custom controls even when a statute, regulation, contract, or disclosure rule applies.
- B. The requirement matters only when the buyer obtains institutional financing.
- C. Disclose known facts affecting value, desirability, or party decision-making in a way that fits South Carolina exam practice.
- D. The affiliated licensee may handle the matter independently without broker responsibility.
Correct Answer
C. Disclose known facts affecting value, desirability, or party decision-making in a way that fits South Carolina exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is C because material facts requires candidates to disclose known facts affecting value, desirability, or party decision-making. 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.
