Fair Housing, Practice, and Disclosures Practice Question
Question
An agent compares two similar exam concepts for the Tennessee Affiliate Broker Exam involving state fair housing and Tennessee Real Estate Commission. What should the licensee understand? (Item 50)
Answer choices
- A. Client funds may be mixed with business funds if the broker reconciles the account later.
- B. Recognize that state protections may be broader than federal minimums in a way that fits Tennessee 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. Recognize that state protections may be broader than federal minimums in a way that fits Tennessee exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is B because state fair housing requires candidates to recognize that state protections may be broader than federal minimums. 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.
