Q1. Which type of estate gives the owner the most complete form of ownership, including the right to sell, lease, or transfer the property without restriction on duration?
Correct answer: A. Fee simple absolute
Fee simple absolute is the highest form of ownership interest, unlimited in duration and freely transferable.
Q2. Two unrelated investors purchase an office building together and want each owner's share to automatically pass to the surviving owner if one dies, without going through probate. Which form of co-ownership should they use?
Correct answer: B. Joint tenancy with right of survivorship
Joint tenancy with right of survivorship automatically transfers a deceased owner's interest to the surviving joint tenant(s), avoiding probate.
Q3. A homeowner wants to build a small addition that would violate the required side-yard setback in the local zoning ordinance. Which type of relief should the homeowner request from the zoning board?
Correct answer: C. Variance
A variance allows a property owner to deviate from a specific zoning requirement, such as a setback, due to hardship, without changing the zoning classification itself.
Q4. Lot A has no direct access to a public road and relies on a driveway crossing Lot B, which was granted by a recorded agreement between the two owners years ago. If Lot A is sold, what happens to this right of access?
Correct answer: D. It transfers with Lot A because it is an easement appurtenant benefiting the land
An easement appurtenant runs with the land, benefiting the dominant estate (Lot A) and burdening the servient estate (Lot B), so it transfers automatically when Lot A is sold.
Q5. Which of the following is one of the fiduciary duties a real estate agent owes to a client under an agency relationship?
Correct answer: A. Loyalty to the client's best interests
Loyalty is a core fiduciary duty owed by an agent to their principal, requiring the agent to act in the client's best interest.
Q6. A broker represents both the buyer and the seller in the same transaction with the informed written consent of both parties. What is this arrangement called?
Correct answer: B. Dual agency
Dual agency occurs when one broker represents both the buyer and seller in the same transaction, which requires informed consent from both parties because full loyalty to each side is limited.
Q7. A listing broker cooperates with another brokerage through the MLS, and the cooperating broker works with a buyer but, under the terms of cooperation, actually represents the seller rather than the buyer. This arrangement describes which concept?
Correct answer: C. Subagency
In a subagency arrangement, a cooperating broker who shows the property to a buyer is actually acting as an agent of the seller (the listing broker's principal), owing fiduciary duties to the seller rather than the buyer.
Q8. Even though a listing agent represents only the seller, what duty does the agent still owe to the buyer in the transaction?
Correct answer: D. Honesty and fair dealing, without misrepresentation
Even non-client customers, such as an unrepresented buyer, are owed basic honesty and fair dealing, though fiduciary duties like loyalty and confidentiality are reserved for the agent's actual client.
Q9. Which of the following is required for a contract to be legally valid?
Correct answer: A. Offer, acceptance, and consideration between competent parties
A valid contract generally requires mutual assent (offer and acceptance), consideration, competent parties, and a legal purpose; notarization and recording are not requirements of contract validity.
Q10. In Texas, most residential resale contracts are written on standardized forms drafted and approved by which entity?
Correct answer: B. The Texas Real Estate Commission (TREC)
TREC promulgates standard contract forms that licensees must use for most residential resale transactions in Texas, ensuring consistency and consumer protection.
