Principles, Property, and Land Use Practice Question

Question

A property manager asks how a rule affects a rental property for the Washington Real Estate Broker Exam involving sales comparison approach and Washington broker licensing structure. Which statement is the best answer? (Item 136)

Answer choices

  1. A. Local custom controls even when a statute, regulation, contract, or disclosure rule applies.
  2. B. The requirement matters only when the buyer obtains institutional financing.
  3. C. The affiliated licensee may handle the matter independently without broker responsibility.
  4. D. Use comparable sales adjustments for residential valuation in a way that fits Washington exam practice.

Correct Answer

D. Use comparable sales adjustments for residential valuation in a way that fits Washington exam practice.

Explanation

The correct answer is D because sales comparison approach requires candidates to use comparable sales adjustments for residential valuation. 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.
