Fair Housing, Practice, and Disclosures Practice Question

Question

A seller is preparing to list a home for the South Carolina Real Estate Salesperson Exam involving steering and agency disclosure and broker supervision. Which response best applies the rule? (Item 19)

Answer choices

1. A. Local custom controls even when a statute, regulation, contract, or disclosure rule applies.
2. B. The requirement matters only when the buyer obtains institutional financing.
3. C. Avoid guiding prospects based on protected traits or neighborhood stereotypes in a way that fits South Carolina exam practice.
4. D. The affiliated licensee may handle the matter independently without broker responsibility.

Correct Answer

C. Avoid guiding prospects based on protected traits or neighborhood stereotypes in a way that fits South Carolina exam practice.

Explanation

The correct answer is C because steering requires candidates to avoid guiding prospects based on protected traits or neighborhood stereotypes. 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.
