PRACTICE TEST
1. A manufactured housing salesperson is meeting with a prospective buyer who asks
whether a manufactured home can legally be installed on private land in Nevada. What
should the salesperson do FIRST before giving a definitive answer?
A. Recommend the buyer proceed with the purchase immediately
B. Verify local zoning and placement regulations with the applicable jurisdiction
C. Tell the buyer that manufactured homes are permitted on all residential property
D. Refer the buyer to a lender for financing approval
════════════════════
Correct Answer: B. Verify local zoning and placement regulations with the applicable
jurisdiction
Rationale:
Local zoning ordinances and land-use regulations determine whether a manufactured home
may be installed on a particular parcel. A licensee should verify placement rules before
making representations to a buyer. Telling a buyer all residential property qualifies could
create liability for misrepresentation. Financing approval does not address zoning compliance.
════════════════════
2. Which document is MOST important for confirming ownership of a manufactured home in
Nevada?
A. Certificate of occupancy
B. Retail installment contract
C. Certificate of title
D. Installation permit
════════════════════
Correct Answer: C. Certificate of title
Rationale:
,The certificate of title is the primary legal document establishing ownership of a
manufactured home. A certificate of occupancy relates to habitability, while financing
agreements and installation permits do not independently establish ownership rights.
════════════════════
3. A dealer knowingly advertises a manufactured home at a lower price than the dealer
intends to accept in order to attract buyers to the sales lot. This practice is BEST described as:
A. Ethical competitive marketing
B. Cooperative advertising
C. Value-based pricing
D. Bait-and-switch advertising
════════════════════
Correct Answer: D. Bait-and-switch advertising
Rationale:
Bait-and-switch advertising occurs when a dealer advertises an unrealistically low offer with
no intention of honoring it to lure consumers into purchasing a higher-priced product. This
practice is deceptive and may violate consumer protection laws and licensing regulations.
════════════════════
4. Before a manufactured home can be legally occupied after installation, which requirement
is typically necessary?
A. A temporary occupancy agreement
B. A dealer sales report
C. A final inspection and approval by the appropriate authority
D. A notarized installation contract only
════════════════════
Correct Answer: C. A final inspection and approval by the appropriate authority
Rationale:
Most jurisdictions require a final inspection to ensure the manufactured home installation
complies with safety codes and regulations before occupancy is permitted. A sales report or
installation contract alone does not authorize occupancy.
════════════════════
5. A buyer asks whether a manufactured home includes a HUD certification label. Why is this
label important?
,A. It confirms the home qualifies for luxury tax exemptions
B. It verifies the home complies with federal construction and safety standards
C. It guarantees financing approval
D. It replaces local installation permits
════════════════════
Correct Answer: B. It verifies the home complies with federal construction and safety
standards

The HUD certification label indicates the home was built in compliance with federal
manufactured housing construction and safety standards. It does not guarantee financing or
eliminate local permitting requirements.
════════════════════
6. A manufactured housing broker discovers that an employee falsified customer income
information on financing paperwork. What should the broker do?
A. Ignore the issue if the loan is approved
B. Ask the employee to correct the file after closing
C. Report the issue and take corrective action immediately
D. Destroy the inaccurate paperwork

Correct Answer: C. Report the issue and take corrective action immediately

Falsifying loan documentation is unethical and potentially illegal. The broker has a duty to
address the misconduct promptly, report it if required, and ensure compliance with lending
and licensing laws. Destroying records or ignoring the conduct could create additional
violations.
════════════════════
7. What is the PRIMARY purpose of anchoring a manufactured home during installation?
A. To improve resale value
B. To simplify transportation later
C. To comply with decorating standards
D. To secure the home against wind and movement forces

wind-related damage. Proper anchoring is a critical safety requirement during installation.

8. Which action by a salesperson would MOST likely violate ethical licensing standards?
A. Explaining financing options available through several lenders
B. Providing manufacturer warranty information
C. Pressuring a buyer to sign documents without allowing time for review
D. Referring a customer to a licensed installer
════════════════════
Correct Answer: C. Pressuring a buyer to sign documents without allowing time for review
Rationale:
Pressuring consumers into signing documents without adequate review may constitute
unethical sales conduct and could expose the licensee to disciplinary action. Providing
information and referrals is generally acceptable when done properly.
════════════════════
9. A customer complains that a recently installed manufactured home has uneven flooring.
What should the dealer recommend FIRST?
A. Immediate demolition of the home
B. A professional inspection of the installation and foundation system
C. Replacement of all interior flooring materials
D. Filing an insurance claim before investigation
════════════════════
Correct Answer: B. A professional inspection of the installation and foundation system

Uneven flooring often results from installation or foundation issues. A professional inspection
helps identify the root cause before repairs or insurance claims are pursued.
