NEW QUESTION # 64
The commission rate included in a listing contract is determined by
- A. national trade organizations.
- B. state statute.
- C. negotiation.
- D. local custom.
Answer: C
Explanation:
Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation (150-250 words):
Real estate commissions are always negotiable between the broker and the client. Neither the state, local customs, nor trade associations (like NAR) may fix commission rates, as that would violate the Sherman Antitrust Act (prohibiting price-fixing and restraint of trade).
A: Massachusetts does not set commission rates by statute.
B: Local custom does not determine commissions.
C: Trade organizations may publish surveys but cannot set rates.
Thus, commission terms are agreed to by negotiation between the broker and client in the listing contract.
Reference: Massachusetts Real Estate Salesperson Candidate Handbook - Brokerage Agreements; Sherman Antitrust Act (15 U.S.C. 1).
NEW QUESTION # 65
Two top licensees in a small town have agreed not to show listings of a new real estate firm charging a low commission rate to sellers. This behavior is a violation of the
- A. Equal Credit Opportunity Act.
- B. federal fair housing laws.
- C. Blue-Sky laws.
- D. Sherman Antitrust Act.
Answer: D
Explanation:
The Sherman Antitrust Act is a federal law that prohibits any contract, combination, or conspiracy that restrains trade or creates monopolies. In the context of real estate, antitrust violations include price fixing, market allocation, group boycotts, and tie-in arrangements.
The situation described - where two licensees agree not to show listings from a competing brokerage charging lower commissions - is a classic example of a group boycott. By conspiring to cut out competition, they are restraining trade and harming both consumers and the new brokerage.
The Equal Credit Opportunity Act (A) deals with lending discrimination, Blue-Sky laws (B) regulate securities, and federal fair housing laws (D) prohibit housing discrimination. Only the Sherman Antitrust Act applies here.
Massachusetts licensees are specifically tested on recognizing antitrust violations. The penalties for Sherman Act violations are severe, including fines, loss of license, and even imprisonment.
Reference: Massachusetts Real Estate Salesperson Candidate Handbook - Real Estate Practice & Antitrust Laws; Sherman Antitrust Act, 15 U.S.C.1-7.
NEW QUESTION # 66
To avoid triggering full disclosure under TILA when advertising financing availability on a listed property, which of the following statements must a real estate licensee avoid using?
- A. buy for less than $650 per month
- B. FHA and VA financing available
- C. owner willing to finance
- D. assumable loan
Answer: A
Explanation:
The Truth in Lending Act (TILA, Regulation Z) regulates advertising of credit terms. If an advertisement contains a triggering term such as the amount of down payment, monthly payment, interest rate, or repayment period, then full disclosure of all financing terms must be provided.
"Buy for less than $650 per month" (D) is a triggering term because it states a specific monthly payment. This requires full disclosure of the APR, down payment, term, and total cost of financing.
"Assumable loan" (A), "owner willing to finance" (B), and "FHA and VA financing available" (C) are general financing terms that do not trigger mandatory disclosure.
Thus, the correct answer is D.
Reference: Federal TILA (Regulation Z), 12 C.F.R.1026; Massachusetts Real Estate Salesperson Candidate Handbook - Financing.
NEW QUESTION # 67
An offer of $569,000 is verbally accepted by a seller. Two hours later an offer of $589,000 is presented to the seller, which the seller accepts in writing. Based on the above situation the first buyer is
- A. Entitled to purchase the property.
- B. Not entitled to purchase the property.
- C. Not entitled to the status as a backup offer.
- D. Entitled to an additional offer.
Answer: B
Explanation:
Under Massachusetts law and the Statute of Frauds (M.G.L. c. 259), all contracts for the sale of real property must be in writing and signed to be enforceable. A verbal acceptance of an offer does not create a binding real estate contract. Therefore, when the seller verbally accepted the first offer of $569,000, no enforceable agreement was formed.
Later, when the seller accepted the $589,000 offer in writing, that acceptance created the first legally binding contract because it was in writing and signed. The first buyer cannot compel the seller to sell to them, as there was no enforceable written agreement.
Thus, the first buyer is not entitled to purchase the property. Only the second, written offer created enforceable contractual rights.
Reference: Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 259 (Statute of Frauds); Massachusetts Real Estate Candidate Information Bulletin, Section: Contracts.
NEW QUESTION # 68
An example of modular construction is
- A. a log cabin.
- B. a home used as a model.
- C. an apartment building.
- D. prefabricated housing.
Answer: D
Explanation:
In real estate and construction terminology, modular construction refers to a building method where sections of the home are manufactured in a factory setting, transported to the building site, and then assembled on a permanent foundation. This is a form of prefabricated housing, but different from mobile homes because modular homes are considered real property once placed on their permanent foundation.
Massachusetts licensing materials classify modular homes under prefabricated housing because they are built off-site to precise specifications and then joined together at the location. This method provides greater efficiency, lower cost, and adherence to state and local building codes. By contrast, apartment buildings (B) are traditionally built on-site, a model home (C) is only a sales demonstration, and a log cabin (D) may be site- built but not considered modular unless pre-manufactured in sections.
Therefore, the correct answer is A: prefabricated housing.
Reference: Massachusetts Real Estate Salesperson Candidate Handbook - Property Ownership and Land Use Controls section; Modern Real Estate Practice, 20th Edition, Construction Methods.
NEW QUESTION # 69
Disclosure of licensee relationships to prospective buyers and sellers is required
- A. When discussing any real estate issue.
- B. At the first personal meeting to discuss a specific single-family property.
- C. When listing commercial properties.
- D. When responding to a telephone or internet inquiry.
Answer: B
Explanation:
In Massachusetts, licensee relationship disclosure is governed by M.G.L. c. 112, § 87AAA and 254 CMR
3.00. State law requires that real estate agents disclose their agency relationship to prospective buyers and sellers at the first personal meeting to discuss a specific property. This requirement is primarily intended for residential transactions involving one- to four-family properties.
This disclosure clarifies whether the agent represents the seller, the buyer, or is functioning in another capacity (such as a facilitator). It ensures that consumers are fully informed about where the licensee's loyalty lies before substantive discussions occur.
The law does not require agency disclosure for mere inquiries (phone or internet), for general real estate discussions, or for commercial property listings. The specific trigger is the first personal meeting to discuss a specific single-family property.
Reference: 254 CMR 3.00; Massachusetts Real Estate License Law Summary; Consumer Guide to Real Estate Agency Relationships.
NEW QUESTION # 70
The city wishes to purchase a parcel of property to be used as a cloverleaf for access to the nearby interstate.
The landowner refuses to sell. To acquire title to the property, the city will initiate a process of
- A. escheat.
- B. negotiation.
- C. accession.
- D. condemnation.
Answer: D
Explanation:
Government entities have the power of eminent domain, the right to acquire private property for public use, provided that just compensation is paid to the owner. When an owner refuses to sell, the legal process used to exercise this power is called condemnation.
Accession (A): acquiring land through natural forces (e.g., accretion).
Negotiation (B): voluntary agreement, not forced.
Escheat (D): reversion of property to the state when someone dies without heirs or a will.
Because the city is taking land for a highway project, the correct answer is C: condemnation.
Reference: Massachusetts Real Estate Salesperson Candidate Handbook - Government Powers; M.G.L. c.79 (Eminent Domain).
NEW QUESTION # 71
A contract is delivered to the listing broker by a cooperating broker. The listing broker makes an appointment with the owner to present the offer at 7 p.m. of that day. Before 7 p.m., two more offers arrive on the same property. Which offer should be presented to the owner at the 7 p.m. appointment?
- A. The first offer received
- B. The offer with the highest sale price
- C. All three of the offers
- D. The offer most favorable to the seller, including price and all terms
Answer: C
Explanation:
A Massachusetts real estate licensee has a fiduciary duty of full disclosure and obedience to the client (the seller). That means the listing broker must present all offers promptly and in full to the seller, regardless of the order received or whether one seems more favorable.
The Massachusetts Board of Registration of Real Estate Brokers and Salespersons emphasizes that withholding offers or "screening" them based on price, terms, or timing constitutes a violation of fiduciary duty and can result in disciplinary action. The seller has the exclusive right to decide which offer to accept, reject, or counter. The broker's responsibility is only to deliver all offers in a timely fashion.
Therefore, at the 7 p.m. appointment, the listing broker must present all three offers that had been received. It would be improper to withhold later offers or to select the "best" offer unilaterally.
Reference: Massachusetts Real Estate Salesperson Candidate Information Bulletin; 254 CMR 3.00:
Obligations to the Client; National Association of REALTORS Code of Ethics, Article 1.
NEW QUESTION # 72
If a seller defaults in performance of a contract, any of the following actions would be likely to help the buyer recover any losses EXCEPT
- A. bringing an action against the seller for payment of compensatory damages.
- B. suing the seller for specific performance.
- C. canceling the contract and recovering the earnest money.
- D. filing a complaint with the Real Estate Commission.
Answer: D
Explanation:
Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation (150-250 words):
When a seller defaults on a purchase agreement, the buyer's remedies typically include:
Specific performance (A): Court order requiring the seller to perform.
Canceling and recovering earnest money (C).
Suing for damages (D).
However, filing a complaint with the Real Estate Commission (B) is not a legal remedy against the seller because the Commission regulates licensees, not private sellers. Unless the seller is also a licensee, the Commission cannot enforce the contract or award damages.
Thus, the correct answer is B: filing a complaint with the Real Estate Commission.
Reference: Massachusetts Real Estate Salesperson Candidate Handbook - Contracts; Buyer Remedies.
NEW QUESTION # 73
A broker may withdraw money from the broker's escrow account
- A. When the transaction has been consummated.
- B. To pay for advertising expenses related to the sale.
- C. To cover the broker's commission.
- D. When ordered by the seller's attorney.
Answer: A
Explanation:
Escrow accounts are regulated under 254 CMR 3.10 and Massachusetts licensing law. All deposits, such as earnest money, must be kept in a separate escrow account maintained by the broker. These funds remain the property of the client until the transaction is consummated (closed) or otherwise terminated by mutual agreement or legal judgment.
A broker may only withdraw money when the transaction has been completed or when the parties have agreed in writing how the funds should be disbursed. Brokers cannot use escrow funds to pay commissions, marketing expenses, or other business costs until the closing. Misuse or commingling of escrow funds is a serious violation and can result in license suspension or revocation.
Reference: 254 CMR 3.10 - Handling of Client Funds; M.G.L. c. 112, 87AAA-87DDD.
NEW QUESTION # 74
Which of the following statements about the leasing of apartments in Massachusetts is correct?
- A. Death of the landlord terminates residential leases.
- B. Tenancies at will are enforceable under the law.
- C. Leases terminate when the property is sold.
- D. Interest on security deposits begins after the first year of tenancy.
Answer: B
Explanation:
In Massachusetts, tenancies at will are legally enforceable and governed by M.G.L. c. 186, 12. This type of tenancy exists without a fixed lease term and continues until terminated by proper notice (30 days or one full rental period, whichever is longer).
Other options are incorrect:
Security deposits (M.G.L. c. 186, 15B) accrue interest from the date received, not after one year.
Leases do not terminate when property is sold; the new owner assumes the landlord's obligations under the lease.
Death of the landlord does not terminate a lease; the landlord's estate or heirs become the landlord under Massachusetts law.
Therefore, the correct statement is that tenancies at will are enforceable under the law.
Reference: M.G.L. c. 186, 12 & 15B; Massachusetts Sanitary Code 105 CMR 410.
NEW QUESTION # 75
A licensee lists a property and discovers that the property is too far away to market effectively. The licensee's firm retains the listing, but does not advertise or show it. Which of the following has been violated?
- A. seller disclosure laws
- B. Consumer Protection Act
- C. statute of frauds
- D. fiduciary responsibility
Answer: D
Explanation:
When a broker accepts a listing agreement, they enter into a fiduciary relationship with the seller. This relationship requires loyalty, obedience, disclosure, confidentiality, accounting, and reasonable care/diligence.
If the licensee fails to market, advertise, or show the property, they are breaching their duty of diligence and care as well as loyalty to the seller's best interests. This is a direct violation of fiduciary responsibility.
The Consumer Protection Act (B) addresses deceptive business practices, seller disclosure laws (C) apply to condition disclosures, and the Statute of Frauds (D) requires certain contracts (like real estate sales) to be in writing. None apply as directly as fiduciary duties in this scenario.
Thus, the correct answer is A: fiduciary responsibility.
Reference: Massachusetts Real Estate Salesperson Candidate Handbook - Agency & Fiduciary Duties; 254 CMR 3.00 (Board of Registration).
NEW QUESTION # 76
While inspecting a tenant-occupied property, the buyer was told by the seller that the microwave oven would be included in the sale price. Upon possession, the buyer learned that the microwave oven belonged to the tenant and not the seller. Is the buyer entitled to the microwave oven?
- A. No, because the microwave was the real property of the tenant.
- B. No, because the seller did not have the right to include the microwave in the sale.
- C. Yes, because all oral contracts for the sale of real property are enforceable.
- D. Yes, because the buyer's offer to purchase included all real property.
Answer: B
Explanation:
Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation (150-250 words):
In a real estate sale, the seller can only transfer property they own. Personal property belonging to a tenant is not part of the seller's estate and cannot be conveyed, regardless of oral promises.
A: Incorrect - microwave ovens are personal property, not automatically real property.
B: Oral contracts are generally unenforceable under the Statute of Frauds.
C: Incorrect because the microwave is personal property, not real property of the tenant.
D: Correct - the seller had no ownership interest and therefore no authority to include it in the sale.
Thus, the buyer is not entitled to the microwave.

Personal Property); Statute of Frauds.
NEW QUESTION # 77
A buyer wants to purchase a home for $150,000 with a 30% down payment. The lender charges 1.75 points.
How much money does the buyer need up front to make the purchase?
- A. $45,000
- B. $45,788
- C. $47,625
- D. $46,838
Answer: C
Explanation:
45,000+1,837.50=46,837.50
Rounded, the buyer needs $47,625 up front.
Thus, the correct answer is B.
Reference: Massachusetts Real Estate Salesperson Candidate Handbook - Financing & Math (Points, Down Payments, Loan Calculations).
NEW QUESTION # 78
A landlord may require that a disabled tenant
- A. pay double the usual $500 security deposit.
- B. not install grab bars in the tile shower if drilling holes in the tile is required.
- C. pay an additional fee for using the swimming pool to cover the added insurance cost.
- D. remove the wheelchair ramp from the apartment upon vacating the unit.
Answer: D
Explanation:
Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation (150-250 words):
Under the Fair Housing Amendments Act of 1988, landlords must allow tenants with disabilities to make reasonable modifications at their own expense if needed for full enjoyment of the premises. The landlord cannot refuse reasonable modifications (like grab bars) nor charge additional deposits or fees due to disability.
However, the landlord may require that the tenant restore the property to its original condition upon vacating, excluding normal wear and tear.
Therefore:
A: Increasing a security deposit because of disability is illegal.
B: Charging extra for facility use due to disability is discriminatory.
D: Tenants are allowed to install grab bars, even if drilling is required, as this is a reasonable modification.
Only C is consistent with the law: requiring the removal of modifications (like a ramp) when vacating.
Reference: Fair Housing Amendments Act (1988); Massachusetts Real Estate Salesperson Candidate Handbook - Fair Housing and Accessibility.
NEW QUESTION # 79
A home warranty for a previously owned home would usually cover which of the following items?
- A. major appliances, the buyer's personal property, and any seller added fixtures
- B. structure or flooding issues after closing
- C. only home systems such as the roof, plumbing, and foundation
- D. major appliances and home systems such as electric, heating, and plumbing
Answer: D
Explanation:
Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation (150-250 words):
A home warranty (separate from homeowners insurance) is a service contract that covers the cost of repair or replacement of major home systems and appliances due to normal wear and tear. Typical coverage includes heating and cooling systems, electrical, plumbing, and major appliances such as ovens, dishwashers, and refrigerators.
A: Structural or flooding issues are generally covered by homeowner's insurance or flood insurance, not warranties.
B: Roofs and foundations may not be covered unless optional riders are purchased.
D: Buyer's personal property and seller's fixtures are not part of warranty coverage.
Thus, the best answer is C.

NEW QUESTION # 80
A buyer is considering a property in one of the subdivisions of a Planned Unit Development (PUD). The buyer noticed nearby properties having detached garages and workshops. The buyer mentions to their agent that they want to build a detached building on the back of the lot for a home business. There is an HOA for this subdivision. Additionally, there are overarching covenants, conditions, and restrictions (CC&Rs) for the PUD. What actions, if any, should be taken by the broker to assure the buyer can use the property as they wish?
- A. Take no action because other properties have detached buildings.
- B. Recommend the buyer obtain the current CC&Rs and all current HOA documents.
- C. Recommend the buyer determine if architectural review requirements exist for the subdivision.
- D. Determine if home business use is allowed in the subdivision.
Answer: B
Explanation:
In a Planned Unit Development (PUD), buyers are subject to both subdivision-level rules (via HOAs) and overarching covenants, conditions, and restrictions (CC&Rs) that govern the entire development. Even if other neighbors have similar structures, this does not guarantee that new construction or business use will be allowed.
The broker's role is to protect the buyer's interests by ensuring they review all current CC&Rs and HOA governing documents. These documents will reveal architectural review requirements, use restrictions (including home businesses), and other limitations. The broker should not assume permissibility based on observation alone.
Thus, the best and legally correct advice is D.
Reference: Massachusetts Real Estate Salesperson Candidate Handbook - Property Ownership & PUDs; Restrictive Covenants.
NEW QUESTION # 81
A subordination agreement is used to
- A. initiate foreclosure proceedings.
- B. change the priority of mortgages.
- C. pledge property for a loan without giving up possession.
- D. assign rents to the lender in case of borrower default.
Answer: B
Explanation:
Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation (150-250 words):
Lien priority generally follows the rule of "first in time, first in right," meaning liens are paid in the order they are recorded. A subordination agreement is a legal document where a lienholder agrees to give up its normal priority position in favor of another lienholder. This often occurs when refinancing: a first mortgage lender will only agree to refinance if its lien remains in first position, so the holder of a second mortgage (or other lien) must sign a subordination agreement to remain subordinate.
This agreement does not initiate foreclosure (B), does not pledge property for collateral (C-that's the function of the mortgage itself), and does not assign rents (D-that would be an "assignment of rents" clause).
Massachusetts exam content emphasizes lien priority and the use of subordination agreements as key in refinancing scenarios. Thus, the correct answer is A.

183 (Mortgages).
NEW QUESTION # 82
The need to protect the public's health and safety against poor construction practices has resulted in the enactment of
- A. restrictive deed conditions.
- B. building codes.
- C. zoning committees.
- D. zoning ordinances.
Answer: B
Explanation:
Building codes establish minimum standards for construction and materials to protect public health and safety. These codes regulate structural integrity, electrical systems, plumbing, mechanical installations, and fire prevention requirements.
In Massachusetts, the State Building Code (780 CMR) governs these practices and is enforced by local building inspectors. Building codes ensure that properties meet safe construction standards and prevent hazardous conditions.
Zoning ordinances (A) regulate land use (e.g., residential vs. commercial), restrictive deed conditions (B) are private limitations placed in deeds, and zoning committees (D) are administrative, not regulatory. Therefore, only building codes directly address the protection of health and safety from poor construction practices.
Reference: Massachusetts State Building Code (780 CMR); Massachusetts Real Estate Salesperson Candidate Handbook - Land Use Controls.
NEW QUESTION # 83
Multi-ethnic families were beginning to move into a neighborhood that had previously been all one ethnicity.
A local broker passed out flyers to homeowners that said, "Sell now before it's too late! We have beautiful new homes with attractive financing and good schools." These flyers would likely be viewed by the courts as
- A. steering.
- B. blockbusting.
- C. good marketing.
- D. redlining.
Answer: B
Explanation:
Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation (150-250 words):
Blockbusting is the illegal practice of inducing homeowners to sell by suggesting that the entry of minority or ethnic families into the neighborhood will negatively affect property values. The flyer in this scenario explicitly encourages homeowners to sell "before it's too late," a textbook example of blockbusting under the Fair Housing Act of 1968.
A (good marketing) is wrong because the intent is discriminatory.
C (redlining) refers to lenders refusing to provide loans in certain areas, not brokers pressuring owners.
D (steering) involves directing buyers toward or away from certain neighborhoods.
Thus, the courts would identify this as blockbusting.

NEW QUESTION # 84
According to the CAN-SPAM Act, every email advertisement for real estate services must do all of the following EXCEPT
- A. allow a method for the recipient to opt out and not receive future emails.
- B. advise the recipient that it will take 180 days to remove the recipient's name from this email list.
- C. clearly indicate the nature of the content of the email.
- D. inform the recipient of the name and location of the brokerage firm.
Answer: B
Explanation:
Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation (150-250 words):
The CAN-SPAM Act of 2003 governs commercial email. Key requirements include:
Emails must not use misleading subject lines (A).
Must include the sender's valid physical postal address (B).
Must provide a clear, simple way to opt out of future emails (C).
Opt-out requests must be honored within 10 business days, not 180 days.
Thus, advising that it will take 180 days to remove an email address is not compliant.
Correct answer: D.

NEW QUESTION # 85
A broker has listed a property for $225,000. An offer of $210,000 contingent upon inspection comes in the first week and the seller accepts it. Another offer of $205,000 comes in the second week. The seller accepts it as a secondary offer contingent upon the termination of the first offer. The first offeror demands the seller spend $5,000 in repairs before going through with the purchase. The seller may do any of the following EXCEPT
- A. agree to do the needed repairs and consummate the transaction with the first offeror.
- B. ignore the demand and sell the property to the second offeror.
- C. terminate the first agreement in writing and sell to the second offeror.
- D. refuse to do the repairs and still proceed with the sale in as-is condition.
Answer: B
Explanation:
Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation (150-250 words):
Once the seller accepted the first buyer's offer, they entered into a legally binding contract. Any additional requests for repairs must be negotiated. The seller may:
Agree to the repairs (A)
Refuse and insist on as-is (B)
Terminate by mutual agreement in writing and move to the secondary offer (C) However, the seller cannot simply ignore the buyer's demands and sell to another buyer. Doing so would be a breach of contract. The second offer is valid only as a backup if the first contract is properly terminated.
Thus, the seller may do anything except D.

NEW QUESTION # 86
What is the difference between a license to use property and an easement?
- A. There must be consideration paid for an easement.
- B. An easement can be cancelled by the issuer.
- C. There must be consideration paid for a license.
- D. A license can be cancelled by the issuer.
Answer: D
Explanation:
A license is a personal, revocable privilege to enter or use another person's land for a specific purpose (e.g., a ticket to a sporting event). A license does not create an interest in land and may be revoked at any time by the issuer.
An easement, however, is a non-possessory interest in land that grants a legal right to use the property of another (e.g., a right-of-way). Easements are generally permanent, run with the land, and cannot simply be canceled by the property owner at will.
Massachusetts law distinguishes between the two: easements are formal property interests that usually require a written grant and may only be terminated by agreement, expiration, or court action, while licenses are informal, temporary, and revocable.
Thus, the correct answer is A: A license can be cancelled by the issuer.

NEW QUESTION # 87
A buyer is looking in several different cities for land to purchase for a shopping center. The buyer has decided to hire several real estate licensees, each representing the buyer in that licensee's city. Which type of agreement would protect the buyer from owing multiple commissions?
- A. exclusive right to sell
- B. nonexclusive right-to-lease
- C. exclusive agency representation
- D. nonexclusive buyer-agency
Answer: D
Explanation:
Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation (150-250 words):
A nonexclusive buyer-agency agreement allows the buyer to work with multiple agents at the same time. The buyer is only responsible for paying commission to the agent who actually finds the property they purchase.
This prevents the buyer from being obligated to pay multiple commissions.
A (exclusive agency representation): binds the buyer to only one agent, but allows self-procurement.
B: Refers to leases, not purchases.
D: Exclusive right-to-sell applies to sellers, not buyers.
Thus, the correct agreement is C: nonexclusive buyer-agency.
