Actual exam question for Real Estate Licensing's Massachusetts-Real-Estate-Salesperson exam
Question #: 4
Topic #: 5
[All Massachusetts-Real-Estate-Salesperson Questions]

A broker has a single agency relationship with the seller. Any required property condition disclosure would be completed by the

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

In Massachusetts, the seller is legally responsible for completing the property condition disclosure form. The listing broker or agent may provide the form and ensure it is delivered to prospective buyers, but they do not complete it on behalf of the seller.

The rationale is that the seller is the party with direct knowledge of the property's condition. Licensees must never fill out the disclosure themselves, as this could expose them to liability for inaccuracies. The broker's duty is limited to ensuring the disclosure is provided in accordance with Massachusetts law (M.G.L. c.93, 114) but not to make representations or complete the document.

Thus, the correct answer is A: seller.

Are you sure? Seems odd that the seller would do it all alone.

I thought it was the broker's job to handle disclosures?

I’m leaning towards the listing agent doing it on behalf of the seller, but I need to double-check my notes on agency responsibilities.

I feel like it’s definitely the seller who has to complete it, but I could be mixing it up with another type of agency relationship.

I remember a practice question where the listing agent filled out the disclosure, but that was for a different scenario.

The key here is the single agency relationship with the seller. That means the seller is responsible for the disclosure, not the broker or listing agent. I'm going with A.

I'm leaning towards C) listing agent on behalf of broker. The question mentions the broker, so I think the listing agent would handle the disclosure on the broker's behalf. But I'm not 100% sure.

Okay, let's see. Since the broker has a single agency relationship with the seller, that means the seller is the one who would complete the property condition disclosure. I'm pretty confident that the answer is A.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. The wording is a bit tricky. I'll have to think it through carefully before selecting an answer.

I think the answer is A) seller. The question states the broker has a single agency relationship with the seller, so the seller would be responsible for any required property condition disclosure.
