CPurchase the property at the original upset price, which is broadly consistent with standard practice statewide
DHave the property returned to the original owner

Answer B: Submit a higher bid that exceeds the foreclosure sale price by at least 5% or $750 (whichever is greater)

Exam Tip: Escrow & Title

Escrow questions test the neutral third-party role and the sequence of closing events. Remember that the escrow agent acts as a dual agent for both buyer and seller and cannot advocate for either side.
