    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement is true because an agreement of sale executed by the seller should include the zoning classification of the property, unless the property is specifically zoned for single-family dwellings. This information is important for the buyer to understand the permitted uses and restrictions on the property. Without the zoning classification, the buyer may not have a clear understanding of what they can do with the property or if there are any limitations or regulations they need to adhere to.

    Rate this question:

  • 29.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    A licensee is required to disclose their agency relationship to a prospective buyer before the buyer makes a valid offer. This is important because it allows the buyer to understand the licensee's role and potential conflicts of interest. By disclosing this information upfront, the buyer can make an informed decision about whether to continue working with the licensee. Therefore, the statement that it is not necessary for a licensee to inform the prospective buyer about their agency relationship until after a valid offer is made is false.

This means that the licensed appraiser is responsible for overseeing the work of the person assisting and ensuring that it is done correctly. This allows for collaboration and support in the appraisal process while still maintaining the necessary qualifications and expertise of a licensed appraiser.

    A real estate school is not permitted to solicit by means of advertisement in the employment columns of newspapers or other publications.

    Correct Answer
    A. The broker shall retain the money until the dispute is resolved
    Explanation
    In a dispute over entitlement to money held in escrow by a broker in a real estate transaction, the correct answer is that the broker shall retain the money until the dispute is resolved. This is because the broker is the neutral party responsible for holding the funds and ensuring they are distributed according to the terms of the transaction. By retaining the money, the broker can prevent either party from accessing it until a resolution is reached, protecting the interests of both parties involved in the dispute.
