Principles, Property, and Land Use Practice Question

Question

A closing coordinator flags an issue before settlement for the South Carolina Real Estate Salesperson Exam involving legal descriptions and agency disclosure and broker supervision. Which statement is the best answer? (Item 33)

Answer choices

1. A. Distinguish metes and bounds, lot and block, and survey-based descriptions in a way that fits South Carolina exam practice.
2. B. Escrow or closing staff automatically assume all brokerage agency and disclosure duties.
3. C. The client’s preference eliminates the need to disclose known material facts.
4. D. The party who complains first automatically receives the remedy requested.

Correct Answer

A. Distinguish metes and bounds, lot and block, and survey-based descriptions in a way that fits South Carolina exam practice.

Explanation

The correct answer is A because legal descriptions requires candidates to distinguish metes and bounds, lot and block, and survey-based descriptions. 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.
