Fair Housing, Practice, and Disclosures Practice Question
Question
A broker is correcting a new licensee’s misunderstanding for the Washington Real Estate Broker Exam involving blockbusting and seller disclosure and environmental awareness. Which response best applies the rule? (Item 180)
Answer choices
- A. The client’s preference eliminates the need to disclose known material facts.
- B. The party who complains first automatically receives the remedy requested.
- C. Escrow or closing staff automatically assume all brokerage agency and disclosure duties.
- D. Identify inducing sales or rentals through protected-class fear tactics in a way that fits Washington exam practice.
Correct Answer
D. Identify inducing sales or rentals through protected-class fear tactics in a way that fits Washington exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is D because blockbusting requires candidates to identify inducing sales or rentals through protected-class fear tactics. 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.
