Fair Housing, Practice, and Disclosures Practice Question
Question
A client asks whether a fact should be disclosed for the Virginia Real Estate Salesperson Exam involving blockbusting and property owner association disclosure awareness. Which response best applies the rule? (Item 180)
Answer choices
- A. The safest practice is to avoid written documentation so fewer questions are raised later.
- B. A licensee may give legal conclusions instead of recommending qualified legal advice when uncertain.
- C. A verbal understanding always replaces a written real estate requirement.
- D. Identify inducing sales or rentals through protected-class fear tactics in a way that fits Virginia exam practice.
Correct Answer
D. Identify inducing sales or rentals through protected-class fear tactics in a way that fits Virginia exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is D because blockbusting requires candidates to identify inducing sales or rentals through protected-class fear tactics. 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.
