Contracts, Finance, and Transfer Practice Question
Question
An agent compares two similar exam concepts for the Washington Real Estate Broker Exam involving listing agreement and seller disclosure and environmental awareness. Which statement is the best answer? (Item 39)
Answer choices
- A. Escrow or closing staff automatically assume all brokerage agency and disclosure duties.
- B. The client’s preference eliminates the need to disclose known material facts.
- C. Identify broker employment terms, compensation, property description, and authorization in a way that fits Washington exam practice.
- D. The party who complains first automatically receives the remedy requested.
Correct Answer
C. Identify broker employment terms, compensation, property description, and authorization in a way that fits Washington exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is C because listing agreement requires candidates to identify broker employment terms, compensation, property description, and authorization. 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.
