Humber/Ontario Real Estate Course 2 Exam Practice

What should Salesperson Martin do when noting unusual wiring where a hot tub was installed by the seller and his brother-in-law?

1. Rely on the seller's assurances of meeting electrical safety standards

2. Obtain an independent assessment from a professional to verify electrical safety standards

3. Provide guidance to seller and brother-in-law to make necessary changes

4. Contact another real estate salesperson for review

5. Recommend minor adjustments be made to the wiring by the seller

6. Ignore the issue if it appears minor

The correct answer is: Rely on the seller's assurances of meeting electrical safety standards

Salesperson Martin should not solely rely on the seller's assurances of meeting electrical safety standards when noting unusual wiring where a hot tub was installed by the seller and his brother-in-law. It is important to prioritize safety and ensure that proper electrical standards are met, especially in a situation involving water and electricity. By choosing option B and obtaining an independent assessment from a professional to verify electrical safety standards, Salesperson Martin can make sure that the wiring is safe and up to code. This helps to protect all parties involved and avoid any potential safety hazards or liabilities.
