Fair Housing, Practice, and Disclosures Practice Question
Question
A closing coordinator flags an issue before settlement for the Washington Real Estate Broker Exam involving federal fair housing and seller disclosure and environmental awareness. Which response best applies the rule? (Item 177)
Answer choices
- A. Recognize protected classes and prohibited discrimination in sale, rental, and financing in a way that fits Washington exam practice.
- B. The rule applies only to commercial transactions and never to residential transactions.
- C. Client funds may be mixed with business funds if the broker reconciles the account later.
- D. The issue can be ignored if the parties want to close quickly.
Correct Answer
A. Recognize protected classes and prohibited discrimination in sale, rental, and financing in a way that fits Washington exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is A because federal fair housing requires candidates to recognize protected classes and prohibited discrimination in sale, rental, and financing. 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.
