Contracts, Finance, and Transfer Practice Question
Question
A supervising broker is reviewing a transaction file for the Washington Real Estate Broker Exam involving deed types and seller disclosure and environmental awareness. Which answer best reduces risk? (Item 104)
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. Distinguish warranty, grant, special warranty, and quitclaim concepts at a high level in a way that fits Washington exam practice.
Correct Answer
D. Distinguish warranty, grant, special warranty, and quitclaim concepts at a high level in a way that fits Washington exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is D because deed types requires candidates to distinguish warranty, grant, special warranty, and quitclaim concepts at a high level. The Washington 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.
