Fair Housing, Practice, and Disclosures Practice Question
Question
An agent compares two similar exam concepts for the Utah Real Estate Sales Agent Exam involving material facts and sales agent brokerage affiliation. Which answer best reduces risk? (Item 75)
Answer choices
- A. The rule applies only to commercial transactions and never to residential transactions.
- B. Client funds may be mixed with business funds if the broker reconciles the account later.
- C. Disclose known facts affecting value, desirability, or party decision-making in a way that fits Utah exam practice.
- D. The issue can be ignored if the parties want to close quickly.
Correct Answer
C. Disclose known facts affecting value, desirability, or party decision-making in a way that fits Utah exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is C because material facts requires candidates to disclose known facts affecting value, desirability, or party decision-making. 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.
