Ohio's Real Estate Recovery Fund compensates consumers for:
Question & Answer
Review the question and all answer choices
Property damage
A is incorrect because property damage is typically covered by property insurance policies, not the Real Estate Recovery Fund. The fund addresses financial losses from human actions, not physical damage to property.
Losses due to licensee misconduct
Market value decreases
C is incorrect because market value decreases are normal market fluctuations beyond a licensee's control. The Recovery Fund doesn't protect against economic conditions or changes in property values.
Closing costs
D is incorrect because closing costs are standard transaction expenses that are disclosed and agreed upon by parties. The Recovery Fund doesn't compensate for these expected costs.
Why is this correct?
B is correct because Ohio's Real Estate Recovery Fund specifically exists to compensate consumers for financial losses resulting from licensee misconduct, including fraud, misrepresentation, or other violations of real estate laws and regulations.
