Contracts, Finance, and Transfer Practice Question
Question
A supervising broker is reviewing a transaction file for the Washington Real Estate Broker Exam involving inspection contingency and seller disclosure and environmental awareness. Which statement is the best answer? (Item 154)
Answer choices
- A. The requirement matters only when the buyer obtains institutional financing.
- B. Recognize buyer investigation rights and repair negotiation concepts in a way that fits Washington exam practice.
- C. The affiliated licensee may handle the matter independently without broker responsibility.
- D. Local custom controls even when a statute, regulation, contract, or disclosure rule applies.
Correct Answer
B. Recognize buyer investigation rights and repair negotiation concepts in a way that fits Washington exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is B because inspection contingency requires candidates to recognize buyer investigation rights and repair negotiation concepts. 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.
