Principles, Property, and Land Use Practice Question
Question
A buyer asks a licensee for an exam-focused explanation for the South Carolina Real Estate Salesperson Exam involving income approach and agency disclosure and broker supervision. What should the licensee understand? (Item 38)
Answer choices
- A. Client funds may be mixed with business funds if the broker reconciles the account later.
- B. Use income and capitalization concepts for income-producing property in a way that fits South Carolina exam practice.
- C. The issue can be ignored if the parties want to close quickly.
- D. The rule applies only to commercial transactions and never to residential transactions.
Correct Answer
B. Use income and capitalization concepts for income-producing property in a way that fits South Carolina exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is B because income approach requires candidates to use income and capitalization concepts for income-producing property. 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.
