Contracts, Finance, and Transfer Practice Question
Question
A broker is correcting a new licensee’s misunderstanding for the Washington Real Estate Broker Exam involving deed types and seller disclosure and environmental awareness. Which statement is most accurate for exam purposes? (Item 50)
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.
