Fair Housing, Practice, and Disclosures Practice Question
Question
A buyer asks a licensee for an exam-focused explanation for the Tennessee Affiliate Broker Exam involving steering and Tennessee Real Estate Commission. Which statement is the best answer? (Item 3)
Answer choices
- A. A licensee may give legal conclusions instead of recommending qualified legal advice when uncertain.
- B. A verbal understanding always replaces a written real estate requirement.
- C. Avoid guiding prospects based on protected traits or neighborhood stereotypes in a way that fits Tennessee exam practice.
- D. The safest practice is to avoid written documentation so fewer questions are raised later.
Correct Answer
C. Avoid guiding prospects based on protected traits or neighborhood stereotypes in a way that fits Tennessee exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is C because steering requires candidates to avoid guiding prospects based on protected traits or neighborhood stereotypes. 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.
