Principles, Property, and Land Use Practice Question
Question
A client asks whether a fact should be disclosed for the Washington Real Estate Broker Exam involving restrictive covenants and Washington broker licensing structure. Which answer best reduces risk? (Item 8)
Answer choices
- A. The requirement matters only when the buyer obtains institutional financing.
- B. The affiliated licensee may handle the matter independently without broker responsibility.
- C. Local custom controls even when a statute, regulation, contract, or disclosure rule applies.
- D. Recognize private deed or association limits on property use in a way that fits Washington exam practice.
Correct Answer
D. Recognize private deed or association limits on property use in a way that fits Washington exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is D because restrictive covenants requires candidates to recognize private deed or association limits on property use. 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.
