Fair Housing, Practice, and Disclosures Practice Question
Question
A supervising broker is reviewing a transaction file for the Utah Real Estate Sales Agent Exam involving market allocation and sales agent brokerage affiliation. Which response best applies the rule? (Item 30)
Answer choices
- A. The client’s preference eliminates the need to disclose known material facts.
- B. Avoid dividing territories, customers, or property types with competitors in a way that fits Utah exam practice.
- C. The party who complains first automatically receives the remedy requested.
- D. Escrow or closing staff automatically assume all brokerage agency and disclosure duties.
Correct Answer
B. Avoid dividing territories, customers, or property types with competitors in a way that fits Utah exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is B because market allocation requires candidates to avoid dividing territories, customers, or property types with competitors. 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.
