Fair Housing, Practice, and Disclosures Practice Question
Question
A broker is correcting a new licensee’s misunderstanding for the Virginia Real Estate Salesperson Exam involving market allocation and property owner association disclosure awareness. Which answer best reduces risk? (Item 142)
Answer choices
- A. Escrow or closing staff automatically assume all brokerage agency and disclosure duties.
- B. Avoid dividing territories, customers, or property types with competitors in a way that fits Virginia exam practice.
- C. The client’s preference eliminates the need to disclose known material facts.
- D. The party who complains first automatically receives the remedy requested.
Correct Answer
B. Avoid dividing territories, customers, or property types with competitors in a way that fits Virginia exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is B because market allocation requires candidates to avoid dividing territories, customers, or property types with competitors. 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.
