Contracts, Finance, and Transfer Practice Question
Question
A buyer asks a licensee for an exam-focused explanation for the Utah Real Estate Sales Agent Exam involving escrow and sales agent brokerage affiliation. Which answer best reduces risk? (Item 88)
Answer choices
- A. The requirement matters only when the buyer obtains institutional financing.
- 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. Identify neutral handling of funds and documents under written instructions in a way that fits Utah exam practice.
Correct Answer
D. Identify neutral handling of funds and documents under written instructions in a way that fits Utah exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is D because escrow requires candidates to identify neutral handling of funds and documents under written instructions. The Utah 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.
