Fair Housing, Practice, and Disclosures Practice Question
Question
A salesperson notices a possible compliance problem for the Washington Real Estate Broker Exam involving redlining and seller disclosure and environmental awareness. Which answer best reduces risk? (Item 85)
Answer choices
- A. Recognize discriminatory lending or service denial based on area characteristics in a way that fits Washington exam practice.
- B. Client funds may be mixed with business funds if the broker reconciles the account later.
- C. The issue can be ignored if the parties want to close quickly.
- D. The rule applies only to commercial transactions and never to residential transactions.
Correct Answer
A. Recognize discriminatory lending or service denial based on area characteristics in a way that fits Washington exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is A because redlining requires candidates to recognize discriminatory lending or service denial based on area characteristics. 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.
