Principles, Property, and Land Use Practice Question

Question

A license applicant is reviewing a practice scenario for the Virginia Real Estate Salesperson Exam involving legal descriptions and agency disclosure and brokerage relationship duties. Which statement is the best answer? (Item 33)

Answer choices

1. A. Distinguish metes and bounds, lot and block, and survey-based descriptions in a way that fits Virginia exam practice.
2. B. A licensee may give legal conclusions instead of recommending qualified legal advice when uncertain.
3. C. A verbal understanding always replaces a written real estate requirement.
4. D. The safest practice is to avoid written documentation so fewer questions are raised later.

Correct Answer

A. Distinguish metes and bounds, lot and block, and survey-based descriptions in a way that fits Virginia exam practice.

Explanation

The correct answer is A because legal descriptions requires candidates to distinguish metes and bounds, lot and block, and survey-based descriptions. 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.
