New Jersey Real Estate Exam #1 Already
Passed
- A real estate licensee has a buyer agency agreement. What is the seller in this situation?
A. a customer
B. a client
C. a fiduciary
D. an agent ✔✔A. There’s an important distinction between client and customer. Unless there is
a specific agreement to the contrary, licensees represent only one side in a transaction. In this
case, it’s the buyer who is the client and it’s the licensee’s obligation to negotiate a deal that’s in
that person’s best interests, not the one that’s “fairest” to both parties. - An optionor and an optionee make a contract for an option on a commercial piece of property.
If the optionee decides to exercise his option, when must he perform?
A. He must exercise his option within 6 months under state law.
B. He must exercise his option under the terms of the option contract.
C. He must exercise his option when the optionor demands it.
D. He can exercise his option whenever he wants. ✔✔B. Options are generally concerned with
only two things: time and price. Whatever the parties agree to in those regards defines the terms
of the option and the obligations of the parties.
- When can a landlord evict a disabled blind or disabled tenant from the premises?
A. If the tenant gets a dog and the apartment policy does not allow pets
B. If the tenant insists on a handicapped parking place
C. If the tenant makes modifications to his unit at his expense
D. If the tenant has loud parties and makes too much noise ✔✔D. The law requires “reasonable
accommodation”–for example, allowing a guide dog for a blind person even if there’s a “no pets”
policy. However, that does not mean that all rules are suspended. Noise, safety, and “use of
premises policies” may still be enforced. - Broker Carr, with ABC Real Estate Company, listed the property with a seller. Broker Smith,
with XYZ Real Estate Company, called Broker Carr, and disclosed that he was a Buyer Agent.
Broker Smith wrote a contract with a buyer for the sale of the property. What, if any, is the
relationship between the buyer’s broker, the seller and the listing broker?
A. There is not a relationship between the parties. Broker Carr represents the Seller and
Broker Smith represents the Buyer.
B. customer
C. agency
D. dual agency ✔✔A. Since each broker represents separate sides in the transaction, no
relationship exists.
- A buyer bought a property without telling the seller of his intended purpose for the property.
The contract contains no contingency clauses and it is a properly executed contract. After the
closing, the buyer is unable to obtain the zoning he needs for his commercial project. What is the
contract at this stage?
A. void
B. voidable
C. breach
D. enforceable ✔✔D. Since there were no contingency clauses, and no restrictive covenants of
record. If the buyer cannot secure a change of zoning , the contract is perfectly valid as stands
and is enforceable between the parties. - The seller and the buyer finally agreed to a purchase price of $203,500 with the closing to
occur on June 15, 2011. The taxes for the year 2011 in the amount of $2,500 have not been paid
by the seller. (Taxes are paid in arrears). How much would the tax proration amount to, and how
would it appear on a full settlement statement? Base your answer on a 365 day year, and the
buyer is responsible for the day of settlement.
A. $1,130.14 debit the seller and credit the buyer
B. $1,130.14 debit the buyer and credit the seller
C. $2,500 credit the seller and debit the buyer
D. Nothing. The seller does not owe since the buyer is buying ✔✔A. The seller would owe
money, and the buyer would receive money, because the seller has not paid the taxes. $2,500
divided by 365 is $6.849315 times the actual days of 165 is $1,130.14.
- A seller listed his home for six months on February 26. On April 29, a buyer made an offer on
the property. The listing broker presented the offer to the seller on April 30. The seller accepted
the offer on May 1, with the closing to occur on June 15. Assuming the closing took place on
June 15, when did the listing expire?
A. 26-May-04
B. 15-Jun-04
C. 26-Aug-04
