Principles, Property, and Land Use Practice Question
Question
A license applicant is reviewing a practice scenario for the South Carolina Real Estate Salesperson Exam involving cost approach and agency disclosure and broker supervision. Which statement is most accurate for exam purposes? (Item 97)
Answer choices
- A. Combine land value with replacement cost less depreciation in a way that fits South Carolina exam practice.
- 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. Escrow or closing staff automatically assume all brokerage agency and disclosure duties.
Correct Answer
A. Combine land value with replacement cost less depreciation in a way that fits South Carolina exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is A because cost approach requires candidates to combine land value with replacement cost less depreciation. 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.
