Principles, Property, and Land Use Practice Question
Question
A salesperson notices a possible compliance problem for the Virginia Real Estate Salesperson Exam involving cost approach and property owner association disclosure awareness. Which statement is most accurate for exam purposes? (Item 57)
Answer choices
- A. Combine land value with replacement cost less depreciation in a way that fits Virginia exam practice.
- 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. The safest practice is to avoid written documentation so fewer questions are raised later.
Correct Answer
A. Combine land value with replacement cost less depreciation in a way that fits Virginia exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is A because cost approach requires candidates to combine land value with replacement cost less depreciation. 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.
