Q1. A property owner in Florida lists their home for sale with a broker under an
exclusive right-of-sale listing agreement. During the listing period, the owner finds a
buyer on their own and sells the property without the broker's involvement. Which of
the following is true regarding the broker's entitlement to a commission?
A) The broker is not entitled to a commission because the owner found the buyer
independently.
B) The broker is entitled to a commission only if the owner formally terminates the
listing agreement in writing before the sale.
C) The broker is entitled to a commission because the exclusive right-of-sale listing
guarantees the broker a commission regardless of who finds the buyer.
D) The broker is entitled to a commission only if the buyer was procured by the
broker during the listing period.
Answer: C
Rationale: An exclusive right-of-sale listing agreement entitles the broker to a
commission if the property sells during the listing term, no matter who produces the
buyer—including the seller. This is distinct from an exclusive agency listing, where the
seller would retain the right to sell without paying a commission if they found the
buyer independently.
Q2. A Florida real estate sales associate is paid a commission by their broker for a
transaction. Under Florida law, who holds the legal responsibility for ensuring the
commission is properly handled and disbursed?
A) The sales associate, because they earned the commission.
B) The title company handling the closing.
C) The employing broker, who has a fiduciary duty to handle all trust funds.
D) The Florida Real Estate Commission directly.

Answer: C
Rationale: Under Florida law, all commissions and deposits received by a sales
associate must be turned over to their employing broker. The broker holds the fiduciary
responsibility for all trust funds, including commissions, until they are properly earned
and disbursed.
Q3. Which of the following is an example of a unilateral contract commonly used in
real estate?
A) A purchase and sale agreement signed by both buyer and seller.
B) A listing agreement signed only by the seller.
C) An option contract where the optionor promises to sell if the optionee exercises
the right.
D) A deed transferring title from grantor to grantee.
Answer: C
Rationale: A unilateral contract involves a promise made by one party in exchange for
the other party's performance. An option contract is unilateral because the optionor is
bound to sell if the optionee chooses to exercise the option, but the optionee is not
obligated to do so.
Q4. A property is legally described as: "The Southeast ¼ of the Southwest ¼ of
Section 12, Township 3 South, Range 2 East." How many acres does this describe?
A) 160 acres
B) 80 acres
C) 40 acres
D) 20 acres
Answer: C
Rationale: A full section contains 640 acres. A quarter-section is 160 acres (640 ÷ 4). A
quarter of that quarter is 40 acres (160 ÷ 4). The description calls for the SE ¼ of the
SW ¼, which is 40 acres.
Q5. Under Florida's Buyer's Brokerage Agreement, which fiduciary duty requires the
broker to disclose all material facts about the property to the buyer?
, 4|Page
A) Confidentiality
B) Disclosure
C) Obedience
D) Accounting
Answer: B
Rationale: The duty of disclosure requires the broker to reveal all material facts that
could affect the buyer's decision. Confidentiality (A) protects the buyer's private
information, obedience (C) means following lawful instructions, and accounting (D)
pertains to handling funds—but disclosure is the specific duty tied to revealing property
facts.
Q6. A sales associate's license has been inactive for 18 months. To reactivate it, what
must they do?
A) Simply pay the renewal fee and submit a reactivation form.
B) Complete 14 hours of continuing education, including 3 hours of core law.
C) Complete 28 hours of continuing education, including 5 hours of core law.
D) Retake the 63-hour pre-licensing course and pass the state exam again.
Answer: B
Rationale: For a license that has been inactive for less than 24 months, Florida requires
14 hours of DBPR-approved continuing education (including the 3-hour core law
course) to reactivate. Only if inactive for more than 24 months would the licensee need
to retake the exam and pre-licensing course.
Q7. Which form of ownership in Florida allows a property owner to hold title with the
right of survivorship, but each owner's share can be sold or conveyed without the
consent of the others?
A) Tenancy in common
B) Joint tenancy
C) Tenancy by the entirety
D) Homestead
Answer: B
Rationale: Joint tenancy includes the right of survivorship (unlike tenancy in common)
and allows each joint tenant to convey their interest without the others' consent.
