Fair Housing, Practice, and Disclosures Practice Question
Question
A license applicant is reviewing a practice scenario for the Utah Real Estate Sales Agent Exam involving steering and sales agent brokerage affiliation. Which statement is most accurate for exam purposes? (Item 67)
Answer choices
- A. Client funds may be mixed with business funds if the broker reconciles the account later.
- B. The issue can be ignored if the parties want to close quickly.
- C. Avoid guiding prospects based on protected traits or neighborhood stereotypes in a way that fits Utah exam practice.
- D. The rule applies only to commercial transactions and never to residential transactions.
Correct Answer
C. Avoid guiding prospects based on protected traits or neighborhood stereotypes in a way that fits Utah exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is C because steering requires candidates to avoid guiding prospects based on protected traits or neighborhood stereotypes. 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.
