Fair Housing, Practice, and Disclosures Practice Question
Question
An agent compares two similar exam concepts for the South Carolina Real Estate Salesperson Exam involving federal fair housing and agency disclosure and broker supervision. Which statement is most accurate for exam purposes? (Item 65)
Answer choices
- A. Recognize protected classes and prohibited discrimination in sale, rental, and financing in a way that fits South Carolina exam practice.
- B. The rule applies only to commercial transactions and never to residential transactions.
- C. Client funds may be mixed with business funds if the broker reconciles the account later.
- D. The issue can be ignored if the parties want to close quickly.
Correct Answer
A. Recognize protected classes and prohibited discrimination in sale, rental, and financing in a way that fits South Carolina exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is A because federal fair housing requires candidates to recognize protected classes and prohibited discrimination in sale, rental, and financing. 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.
