Rendering an opinion of title by a real estate licensee is considered which of the following?

• A. A legitimate appraisal practice
• B. Rendering an opinion of title
• C. Marketing strategy for a transaction
• D. Drafting a legal contract

Answer: (B)

The key idea here is what constitutes a title opinion. Rendering an opinion of title means giving a legal conclusion about the status of a property's title—whether it’s clear of defects, liens, or encumbrances. That kind of determination is a legal conclusion typically handled by a attorney or a title professional, not by a real estate licensee. The other options point to activities that fall into different professional roles: appraising is about estimating market value, marketing strategy is about promoting the property, and drafting legal contracts is legal drafting. So, the action described fits best as rendering an opinion of title.
