Fair Housing, Practice, and Disclosures Practice Question
Question
A buyer asks a licensee for an exam-focused explanation for the Washington Real Estate Broker Exam involving environmental hazards and seller disclosure and environmental awareness. What should the licensee understand? (Item 92)
Answer choices
- A. Escrow or closing staff automatically assume all brokerage agency and disclosure duties.
- B. The client’s preference eliminates the need to disclose known material facts.
- C. The party who complains first automatically receives the remedy requested.
- D. Recognize issues such as mold, asbestos, radon, contamination, flood, or fire risk in a way that fits Washington exam practice.
Correct Answer
D. Recognize issues such as mold, asbestos, radon, contamination, flood, or fire risk in a way that fits Washington exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is D because environmental hazards requires candidates to recognize issues such as mold, asbestos, radon, contamination, flood, or fire risk. 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.
