Fair Housing, Practice, and Disclosures Practice Question
Question
A salesperson notices a possible compliance problem for the Tennessee Affiliate Broker Exam involving state fair housing and affiliate broker supervision. Which answer best reduces risk? (Item 66)
Answer choices
- A. The issue can be ignored if the parties want to close quickly.
- B. Recognize that state protections may be broader than federal minimums in a way that fits Tennessee exam practice.
- C. The rule applies only to commercial transactions and never to residential transactions.
- D. Client funds may be mixed with business funds if the broker reconciles the account later.
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.
