Principles, Property, and Land Use Practice Question

Question

A supervising broker is reviewing a transaction file for the South Carolina Real Estate Salesperson Exam involving title insurance and agency disclosure and broker supervision. Which statement is most accurate for exam purposes? (Item 40)

Answer choices

1. A. The requirement matters only when the buyer obtains institutional financing.
2. B. The affiliated licensee may handle the matter independently without broker responsibility.
3. C. Local custom controls even when a statute, regulation, contract, or disclosure rule applies.
4. D. Recognize protection against covered title defects in a way that fits South Carolina exam practice.

Correct Answer

D. Recognize protection against covered title defects in a way that fits South Carolina exam practice.

Explanation

The correct answer is D because title insurance requires candidates to recognize protection against covered title defects. 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.
