Real Estate Principles Practice Question
Question
A seller is preparing to list a residential property in a Texas real estate transaction involving freehold estates. Which response best applies the rule? (Item 181)
Answer choices
- A. Classify ownership interests including fee simple, life estate, and defeasible estates.
- B. The rule applies only to commercial property and never to residential property.
- C. The broker may mix client funds with business funds if the amount is small and later reconciled.
- D. The issue can be ignored if both parties want the transaction to close quickly.
Correct Answer
A. Classify ownership interests including fee simple, life estate, and defeasible estates.
Explanation
The correct answer is A because freehold estates requires candidates to classify ownership interests including fee simple, life estate, and defeasible estates. 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.
