    Correct Answer

    Explanation
    Gladys sells another broker's $300,000 listing for $290,000 at a commission rate of 6%. She has a 60% commission split with her broker. If there is also a 50% brokerage split, Gladys will receive a commission of $5220. This can be calculated by first finding Gladys' commission on the sale, which is 6% of $290,000, equal to $17,400. Then, taking into account the 60% commission split with her broker, Gladys will receive 60% of $17,400, which is $10,440. Finally, considering the 50% brokerage split, Gladys will receive 50% of $10,440, which is $5,220.

    This scenario is an example of a special agency.

In this type of agency, the principal (the person being represented) is held responsible for the actions of the agent (the person representing the principal) because they allowed the agent to act on their behalf and gave others the impression of an agency relationship.

    An owner's agent is showing a buyer an apartment building.  The buyer notices water stains on the ceiling and informs the agent.  What is the agent's best course of action?

    • Immediately contract to paint the ceiling

    • Immediately contract to repair the roof

    • Suggest the buyer make a lower-price offer

    • Inform the seller

    Correct Answer
    A. Inform the seller
    Explanation
    The agent's best course of action is to inform the seller. This is because the buyer has noticed water stains on the ceiling, indicating a potential issue with the roof or plumbing. It is the agent's responsibility to communicate any concerns or issues raised by the buyer to the seller, allowing them to address the problem appropriately. The agent should not immediately contract to paint the ceiling or repair the roof without consulting the seller first. Additionally, suggesting a lower-price offer may not be necessary at this stage, as the issue can be resolved by the seller.

    Rate this question:

  • 39. 

    Which of the following is not a fiduciary duty an agent owes to his or her principal?

    • Loyalty

    • Confidentiality

    • Accountability

    • Blind obedience

    Correct Answer
    A. Blind obedience
    Explanation
    Blind obedience is not a fiduciary duty because it implies unquestioningly following the principal's instructions without considering their legality or ethical implications. Fiduciary duties, on the other hand, require agents to act in the best interests of their principals, which may involve questioning or refusing to carry out instructions that are unlawful or unethical. Therefore, blind obedience does not align with the concept of fiduciary duty.

    The agent may be held liable for negligent misrepresentation because they failed to discover and mention the flood marks in the basement of the property. This failure to disclose a known problem could be seen as a breach of the agent's duty to provide accurate information to the buyer.

Unlike a subagent or broker agent who may represent both the buyer and seller, a single agent is dedicated to representing only one party, in this case, the seller.

    Which of these is not a way a buyer's agent might receive compensation?

    • Seller pays the compensation

    • Buyer pays a flat fee

    • The agent receives a retainer

    • Agent gets everything above the net price set by the seller

    Correct Answer
    A. Agent gets everything above the net price set by the seller
    Explanation
    In a real estate transaction, a buyer's agent typically receives compensation from the seller, either directly or through the listing agent. This compensation is usually a percentage of the sale price or a commission. However, the answer "Agent gets everything above the net price set by the seller" suggests that the buyer's agent receives the additional amount above the agreed-upon price set by the seller, which is not a common way for a buyer's agent to be compensated.

    If a cooperating broker accepts the offer of subagency from a listing broker, to whom does the cooperating broker owe fidiciary duties?

    • Listing broker

    • Buyer

    • Seller

    • No one

    Correct Answer
    A. Seller
    Explanation
    When a cooperating broker accepts the offer of subagency from a listing broker, they owe fiduciary duties to the seller.

The cooperating broker is essentially representing the seller in the transaction, even though they may be working with and assisting the buyer.

    Which type of agency would be most advantageous to a buyer?

    • Broker's agency

    • Buyer brokerage

    • Designated agency

    • Consensual dual agency

    Correct Answer
    A. Buyer brokerage
    Explanation
    Buyer brokerage would be most advantageous to a buyer because it involves an agent who exclusively represents the buyer's interests. This type of agency ensures that the buyer's needs and preferences are the top priority, and the agent works solely to find the best property and negotiate the best terms for the buyer. This arrangement provides the buyer with a higher level of representation and protection compared to other types of agencies where the agent may have divided loyalties or represent the seller's interests.

    What form of limited agency is a good alternative to dual agency

    • Non-agency

    • Undisclosed dual agency

    • Designated agency

    • Buyer brokerage

    Correct Answer
    A. Designated agency
    Explanation
    Designated agency is a good alternative to dual agency because it allows for the appointment of separate agents to represent the buyer and seller in a real estate transaction. This ensures that each party has their own dedicated agent who can provide unbiased advice and representation. Designated agency helps to avoid conflicts of interest that may arise in dual agency, where one agent represents both parties simultaneously. By having separate agents, designated agency promotes transparency and ensures that each party's best interests are prioritized.

    Which of the following terminations of an agency relationship could result in legal or financial ramifications

    • Contract performance

    • Contract expiration

    • Mutual agreement between broker and client

    • Renunciation by the client

    Correct Answer
    A. Renunciation by the client
    Explanation
    Renunciation by the client refers to the client voluntarily terminating the agency relationship without the agreement or consent of the broker. This termination could result in legal or financial ramifications because it may breach the terms of the agency agreement or contract. The broker may have invested time, effort, and resources into representing the client, and the sudden termination could lead to financial losses for the broker. Additionally, if the termination is not done in accordance with any contractual obligations or legal requirements, the client may be held liable for any damages or losses incurred by the broker.
