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 state fair housing and agency disclosure and brokerage relationship duties. Which statement is most accurate for exam purposes? (Item 162)
Answer choices
- A. The party who complains first automatically receives the remedy requested.
- B. Recognize that state protections may be broader than federal minimums in a way that fits Virginia exam practice.
- C. Escrow or closing staff automatically assume all brokerage agency and disclosure duties.
- D. The client’s preference eliminates the need to disclose known material facts.
Correct Answer
B. Recognize that state protections may be broader than federal minimums in a way that fits Virginia exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is B because state fair housing requires candidates to recognize that state protections may be broader than federal minimums. 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.
