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 seller disclosure and environmental awareness. Which statement is the best answer? (Item 116)
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. 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.
