Contracts, Finance, and Transfer Practice Question
Question
A broker is correcting a new licensee’s misunderstanding for the Virginia Real Estate Salesperson Exam involving specific performance and Virginia Real Estate Board. Which response best applies the rule? (Item 12)
Answer choices
- A. The requirement matters only when the buyer obtains institutional financing.
- B. The affiliated licensee may handle the matter independently without broker responsibility.
- C. Local custom controls even when a statute, regulation, contract, or disclosure rule applies.
- D. Recognize a court order requiring contract performance in appropriate cases in a way that fits Virginia exam practice.
Correct Answer
D. Recognize a court order requiring contract performance in appropriate cases in a way that fits Virginia exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is D because specific performance requires candidates to recognize a court order requiring contract performance in appropriate cases. 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.
