Real Estate Principles Practice Question
Question
A buyer and seller disagree about a closing issue in a Texas real estate transaction involving land use controls. Which response best applies the rule? (Item 235)
Answer choices
- A. The requirement matters only if the buyer uses lender financing.
- B. The salesperson may handle the matter independently without broker involvement when compensation is expected.
- C. Distinguish zoning, deed restrictions, and governmental powers.
- D. Local custom controls even when a statute, regulation, contract, or disclosure rule applies.
Correct Answer
C. Distinguish zoning, deed restrictions, and governmental powers.
Explanation
The correct answer is C because land use controls requires candidates to distinguish zoning, deed restrictions, and governmental powers. The other options rely on unsafe assumptions about custom, oral agreement, escrow, client preference, or independent salesperson authority and do not reflect sound Texas exam practice.
