Principles, Property, and Land Use Practice Question
Question
A seller is preparing to list a home for the Washington Real Estate Broker Exam involving legal descriptions and Washington broker licensing structure. Which statement is the best answer? (Item 73)
Answer choices
- A. Distinguish metes and bounds, lot and block, and survey-based descriptions in a way that fits Washington exam practice.
- B. Escrow or closing staff automatically assume all brokerage agency and disclosure duties.
- C. The client’s preference eliminates the need to disclose known material facts.
- D. The party who complains first automatically receives the remedy requested.
Correct Answer
A. Distinguish metes and bounds, lot and block, and survey-based descriptions in a way that fits Washington exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is A because legal descriptions requires candidates to distinguish metes and bounds, lot and block, and survey-based descriptions. 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.
