Fair Housing, Practice, and Disclosures Practice Question

Question

A salesperson notices a possible compliance problem for the South Carolina Real Estate Salesperson Exam involving steering and South Carolina Real Estate Commission. Which answer best reduces risk? (Item 51)

Answer choices

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

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.
