Contracts, Finance, and Transfer Practice Question
Question
A property manager asks how a rule affects a rental property for the Washington Real Estate Broker Exam involving deed types and agency law pamphlet concepts. Which statement is the best answer? (Item 86)
Answer choices
- A. The affiliated licensee may handle the matter independently without broker responsibility.
- B. Distinguish warranty, grant, special warranty, and quitclaim concepts at a high level in a way that fits Washington exam practice.
- C. Local custom controls even when a statute, regulation, contract, or disclosure rule applies.
- D. The requirement matters only when the buyer obtains institutional financing.
Correct Answer
B. 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 B 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.
