QUESTION 4
Which of the following constitutes an unfair trade practice in Georgia?
Answer: A real estate salesperson gives a client an appraisal opinion of the clients cabin.
Rationale: A real estate salesperson offering an appraisal opinion constitutes practicing real estate brokerage without a
license in Georgia, as appraisals require specific licensing and certification. This action improperly encroaches upon the
domain of licensed appraisers and violates professional conduct rules.
QUESTION 5
Which is the least curable form of Obsolescence?
Answer: Economic Obsolescence, out of owners control.
Rationale: Economic obsolescence, stemming from external factors beyond an owner's control like market shifts or
technological advancements, is the least curable form because it cannot be rectified by the owner's actions. This contrasts
with functional or physical obsolescence, which can sometimes be addressed through renovation or repair.
QUESTION 6
The states in which the owner gives up legal title of mortgaged real estate are known
as:
Answer: Title Theory States.
Rationale: In title theory states, the mortgagee holds legal title to the mortgaged real estate until the loan is satisfied, while
the mortgagor retains equitable title and possession. This contrasts with lien theory states where the mortgagor retains legal
title and the mortgagee has a lien.
QUESTION 7
Which of the following is True regarding a Purchase Money Mortgage?
Answer: The seller finances a portion of the purchase price and places a junior lien on the property.
Rationale: A purchase money mortgage occurs when the seller finances part of the sale, taking back a junior lien on the
property as security for the loan. This arrangement allows the buyer to acquire the property with a smaller down payment,
while the seller retains an interest until the loan is repaid.
