Question #1
Jim from Greater SW Realty represents Andy as the buyer of a parcel of land. Roger, also from Greater SW Realty, has the listing for that land. Is this a dual agency situation?
A.   Yes, because any time more than one party is involved in a transaction, it is dual agency.
B.   No, because land is not subject to dual agency requirements.
C.   No, because each party has their own representation.
D.   Yes, because both Jim and Roger work for the same broker.
Question #2
Which of the following situations would qualify as “more than casual,” and therefore require an agency disclosure form to be signed?
A.   When a listing agent shows an unrepresented buyer their own listing
B.   When a listing agent shows a visitor around at an open house
C.   When a licensee shows a couple who is expecting their first child around an open house
D.   When a 'for sale by owner' seller asks a licensee whether the licensee believes the house is overpriced
Question #3
What happens if a consumer who refused to sign an agency disclosure later decides to use that same licensee as their agent?

B.   Nothing, as long as the consumer was presented with the form the first time
C.   The old agency disclosure must be discarded
D.   An amendment noting the change in agency status must be signed
Question #4
You work for XYZ Realty under the supervision of broker Luke. Your buddy in the next county gave you a referral fee. The check came to your office in your name. You deposit it. Is this okay?
A.   Yes, if the check is endorsed by your broker, as well.
B.   No, because all compensation must come through your broker.
C.   Yes, provided your broker knows about the check.
D.   No, because agents can only be paid directly if they're paid in cash.
Question #5
Risa is a licensee. She told Kim, her seller client, about Ranger’s willingness to pay more for her house—something Ranger did not want Kim to know. Did Risa violate her duties?
A.   Yes, if Ranger is also a client
B.   No, because a licensee's duty to a seller is greater than that to a buyer
C.   No, because licensees may share confidential information with their clients, no matter the source
D.   Yes, because Ranger did not want the seller to know
Question #6

B.   He did not receive his broker's permission.
C.   He did not offer to also mail his clients a certified copy.
D.   He did not make sure his clients understood the form before signing it.
Question #7
Kamut met with Amy, a buyer, and showed her his new listing. If Amy is unrepresented, did Kamut err by not providing Amy with an agency disclosure?
A.   Yes, because he showed her property
B.   No, because he is the listing agent
C.   Only if Amy asked for advice or offered confidential information
D.   Yes, because any time you meet with a buyer, you must provide agency disclosure
Question #8
