Fair Housing, Practice, and Disclosures Practice Question
Question
A supervising broker is reviewing a transaction file for the South Carolina Real Estate Salesperson Exam involving advertising language and state disclosure practice. Which statement is most accurate for exam purposes? (Item 40)
Answer choices
- A. Escrow or closing staff automatically assume all brokerage agency and disclosure duties.
- B. The client’s preference eliminates the need to disclose known material facts.
- C. The party who complains first automatically receives the remedy requested.
- D. Avoid preferences, limitations, or discriminatory wording in a way that fits South Carolina exam practice.
Correct Answer
D. Avoid preferences, limitations, or discriminatory wording in a way that fits South Carolina exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is D because advertising language requires candidates to avoid preferences, limitations, or discriminatory wording. 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.
