Principles, Property, and Land Use Practice Question
Question
A supervising broker is reviewing a transaction file for the Utah Real Estate Sales Agent Exam involving variance and sales agent brokerage affiliation. What should the licensee understand? (Item 30)
Answer choices
- A. The affiliated licensee may handle the matter independently without broker responsibility.
- B. Recognize relief from zoning rules due to property-specific hardship in a way that fits Utah exam practice.
- C. Local custom controls even when a statute, regulation, contract, or disclosure rule applies.
- D. The requirement matters only when the buyer obtains institutional financing.
Correct Answer
B. Recognize relief from zoning rules due to property-specific hardship in a way that fits Utah exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is B because variance requires candidates to recognize relief from zoning rules due to property-specific hardship. 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.
