Principles, Property, and Land Use Practice Question
Question
A broker is correcting a new licensee’s misunderstanding for the Washington Real Estate Broker Exam involving variance and agency law pamphlet concepts. What should the licensee understand? (Item 210)
Answer choices
- A. Client funds may be mixed with business funds if the broker reconciles the account later.
- B. Recognize relief from zoning rules due to property-specific hardship in a way that fits Washington exam practice.
- 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
B. Recognize relief from zoning rules due to property-specific hardship in a way that fits Washington exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is B because variance requires candidates to recognize relief from zoning rules due to property-specific hardship. 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.
