Contracts, Finance, and Transfer Practice Question
Question
A closing coordinator flags an issue before settlement for the Virginia Real Estate Salesperson Exam involving closing statement and Virginia Real Estate Board. Which statement is the best answer? (Item 179)
Answer choices
- A. A licensee may give legal conclusions instead of recommending qualified legal advice when uncertain.
- B. A verbal understanding always replaces a written real estate requirement.
- C. Distinguish buyer and seller debits and credits at settlement in a way that fits Virginia exam practice.
- D. The safest practice is to avoid written documentation so fewer questions are raised later.
Correct Answer
C. Distinguish buyer and seller debits and credits at settlement in a way that fits Virginia exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is C because closing statement requires candidates to distinguish buyer and seller debits and credits at settlement. The Virginia 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.
