Principles, Property, and Land Use Practice Question
Question
A buyer asks a licensee for an exam-focused explanation for the Tennessee Affiliate Broker Exam involving legal descriptions and Tennessee Real Estate Commission. Which statement is the best answer? (Item 73)
Answer choices
- A. Distinguish metes and bounds, lot and block, and survey-based descriptions in a way that fits Tennessee exam practice.
- B. The affiliated licensee may handle the matter independently without broker responsibility.
- C. Local custom controls even when a statute, regulation, contract, or disclosure rule applies.
- D. The requirement matters only when the buyer obtains institutional financing.
Correct Answer
A. Distinguish metes and bounds, lot and block, and survey-based descriptions in a way that fits Tennessee exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is A because legal descriptions requires candidates to distinguish metes and bounds, lot and block, and survey-based descriptions. 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.
