Principles, Property, and Land Use Practice Question
Question
A client asks whether a fact should be disclosed for the Virginia Real Estate Salesperson Exam involving title insurance and Virginia Real Estate Board. Which statement is most accurate for exam purposes? (Item 140)
Answer choices
- A. Client funds may be mixed with business funds if the broker reconciles the account later.
- B. The issue can be ignored if the parties want to close quickly.
- C. The rule applies only to commercial transactions and never to residential transactions.
- D. Recognize protection against covered title defects in a way that fits Virginia exam practice.
Correct Answer
D. Recognize protection against covered title defects in a way that fits Virginia exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is D because title insurance requires candidates to recognize protection against covered title defects. 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.
