Fair Housing, Practice, and Disclosures Practice Question
Question
A salesperson notices a possible compliance problem for the Utah Real Estate Sales Agent Exam involving redlining and sales agent brokerage affiliation. Which statement is most accurate for exam purposes? (Item 21)
Answer choices
- A. Recognize discriminatory lending or service denial based on area characteristics in a way that fits Utah exam practice.
- B. The requirement matters only when the buyer obtains institutional financing.
- C. The affiliated licensee may handle the matter independently without broker responsibility.
- D. Local custom controls even when a statute, regulation, contract, or disclosure rule applies.
Correct Answer
A. Recognize discriminatory lending or service denial based on area characteristics in a way that fits Utah exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is A because redlining requires candidates to recognize discriminatory lending or service denial based on area characteristics. 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.
