    A meeting of the minds is also called as?

    • Mutual disagreement

    • Conflict of interests

    • Mutual assent

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Mutual assent
    Explanation
    A meeting of the minds refers to an agreement or consensus reached by all parties involved. It implies that there is a mutual understanding and agreement on a particular matter. "Mutual assent" accurately describes this concept, as it signifies the agreement and consent reached by all parties involved in a meeting or negotiation. "Mutual disagreement" and "conflict of interests" do not accurately represent the idea of a meeting of the minds, as they imply a lack of agreement or harmony among the parties. "None of the above" is incorrect as "mutual assent" is the correct term for a meeting of the minds.

    What do you understand by open listing?

    • Home seller's property to be sold by any broker in the area

    • Home seller's property to be sold by maximum of 10 brokers in an area

    • Home seller's property to be sold by minimum of 1 broker in an area

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Home seller's property to be sold by any broker in the area
    Explanation
    Open listing refers to a type of agreement between a home seller and real estate brokers, where the seller allows any broker in the area to sell their property. This means that multiple brokers can simultaneously market and show the property to potential buyers. The seller is not obligated to work exclusively with any particular broker and can engage the services of multiple brokers to maximize exposure and increase the chances of a successful sale.

    What is the person called who transfers property to another one?

    • Creditor

    • Grantor

    • Debtor

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Grantor
    Explanation
    A grantor is a person who transfers property to another individual. This term is commonly used in legal and real estate contexts, where a grantor is the party who conveys ownership or interest in a property to a grantee. The grantor is essentially the person who is giving or granting the property to someone else. In contrast, a creditor is someone who is owed money, a debtor is someone who owes money, and "none of the above" does not accurately describe the role of transferring property.

    Which contract is a direct contract between a broker and home seller?

    • Listing agreement

    • Non Listing agreement

    • Trust agreement

    • Fraudulent agreement

    Correct Answer
    A. Listing agreement
    Explanation
    A listing agreement is a direct contract between a broker and a home seller. This agreement outlines the terms and conditions under which the broker will market and sell the property on behalf of the seller. It establishes the broker's responsibilities, such as advertising, showing the property, and negotiating offers. The listing agreement also specifies the commission that the broker will receive upon the successful sale of the property. This contract is exclusive, meaning the seller cannot work with other brokers during the agreement's duration.

    What do you understand by sub-let?

    • Renting property

    • Buying property

    • Renting property for minimum period

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Renting property
    Explanation
    Sub-letting refers to the act of renting a property that is already being rented by someone else. In this arrangement, the original tenant becomes the sub-lessor and rents out the property to another person, known as the sub-lessee. The sub-lessee pays rent to the original tenant, who in turn continues to pay rent to the landlord. This allows the original tenant to temporarily transfer their rights and obligations as a tenant to someone else, while still maintaining their lease agreement with the landlord.

    • Statue of trust

    • Statue of sub letting

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Statute of frauds
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Statute of frauds." This statute requires certain types of contracts to be in writing in order to be enforceable. It varies by jurisdiction, but generally includes contracts involving the sale of land, contracts that cannot be performed within one year, contracts for the sale of goods over a certain value, and contracts in consideration of marriage. This requirement helps prevent fraudulent claims and provides a clear record of the agreement between the parties involved.

    • A process where tenant refuse to leave the property

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. A process where the landlord physically ejects the tenant
    Explanation
    Self-help eviction refers to a process where the landlord physically ejects the tenant from the property. This means that the landlord takes matters into their own hands and forcibly removes the tenant without going through the proper legal channels. It is important to note that self-help eviction is illegal in many jurisdictions and can result in legal consequences for the landlord.

    Which of the following is not an element of a contract?

    • Fraudulent intent

    • Regulatory intent

    • Monetary Intent

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Regulatory intent
    Explanation
    Regulatory intent is not an element of a contract because it refers to the intention to comply with laws and regulations, rather than the intention to enter into a legal agreement. In a contract, the essential elements typically include an offer, acceptance, consideration, legal capacity, and genuine consent. Fraudulent intent refers to the intention to deceive or misrepresent information, while monetary intent refers to the intention to exchange something of value. Therefore, the correct answer is regulatory intent, as it does not pertain to the formation of a contract.

    Correct Answer
    A. Seller
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Broker". A broker is a professional who represents sellers, assists in the sale process, and helps locate buyers. They act as intermediaries between the seller and the buyer, facilitating the transaction and ensuring that both parties' interests are protected. The broker's role is to negotiate the best possible deal for the seller and provide guidance throughout the selling process.
