Contracts, Finance, and Transfer Practice Question
Question
A seller is preparing to list a home for the Tennessee Affiliate Broker Exam involving prorations and agency and property condition disclosure practice. Which answer best reduces risk? (Item 54)
Answer choices
- A. The safest practice is to avoid written documentation so fewer questions are raised later.
- B. Allocate recurring expenses such as taxes, rent, interest, or assessments in a way that fits Tennessee exam practice.
- C. A licensee may give legal conclusions instead of recommending qualified legal advice when uncertain.
- D. A verbal understanding always replaces a written real estate requirement.
Correct Answer
B. Allocate recurring expenses such as taxes, rent, interest, or assessments in a way that fits Tennessee exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is B because prorations requires candidates to allocate recurring expenses such as taxes, rent, interest, or assessments. The Tennessee 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.
