Q1 INTERPRET AND APPLY THE ILLINOIS REAL ESTATE LICENSE ACT OF 2000 AND
ADMINISTRATIVE RULES TO BROKERAGE PRACTICE
A managing broker receives an offer on a listing that includes a contingency
requiring the seller to provide a certificate of occupancy within 30 days. The seller
is out of state and has not responded. The buyer's agent calls the managing
broker and demands an answer, stating that the offer will expire in 2 hours. Under
Illinois agency law, what is the managing broker's most appropriate course of
action?
A. Accept the offer on the seller's behalf to avoid losing the buyer, as the managing broker has
implied authority to bind the seller.
B. Reject the offer immediately to protect the seller from an unreasonable contingency.
C. Notify the buyer's agent that the offer has been presented and that the seller has not yet
responded, while making reasonable efforts to contact the seller. CORRECT
D. Extend the offer deadline unilaterally to allow more time for seller communication.
RATIONALE: A broker must promptly present all offers and communicate them to the principal,
but lacks authority to accept, reject, or modify terms without the seller's consent. Extending the
deadline or accepting on the seller's behalf exceeds the broker's authority. Therefore, the correct
action is to communicate the status and attempt to reach the seller.

ADMINISTRATIVE RULES TO BROKERAGE PRACTICE
Under the Illinois Residential Real Property Disclosure Act, which of the following
conditions must be disclosed by a seller of a single-family home?
A. A prior death on the property that occurred 5 years ago.
B. The presence of knob-and-tube wiring in the attic. CORRECT
C. A neighbor's pending lawsuit about a property line dispute.
D. The fact that a previous owner had a pet cat.
RATIONALE: The Act requires disclosure of material defects affecting the physical condition of
the property, including electrical system issues. Deaths, neighbor disputes, and pets are not
required disclosures under the Act. Thus, knob-and-tube wiring is a known material defect that
must be disclosed.
Q3 INTERPRET AND APPLY THE ILLINOIS REAL ESTATE LICENSE ACT OF 2000 AND
ADMINISTRATIVE RULES TO BROKERAGE PRACTICE
A licensee has a signed listing agreement with a seller. The seller's neighbor, who
is not a party to the agreement, asks the licensee to show the property to a
potential buyer. The licensee does so and later learns that the buyer is the
neighbor's relative. After closing, the seller claims the licensee breached a
fiduciary duty. Which duty was most likely breached?
A. Confidentiality, because the licensee disclosed the seller's motivation to the neighbor.
B. Loyalty, because the licensee acted for the neighbor's benefit without the seller's consent.
CORRECT
C. Reasonable skill and care, because the licensee failed to verify the buyer's identity.
D. Accounting, because the licensee did not disclose the neighbor's involvement in the
transaction.
RATIONALE: The licensee's actions benefited the neighbor by facilitating a sale to the neighbor's
relative, without the seller's knowledge or consent, demonstrating a conflict of interest and
breach of loyalty. Confidentiality, skill, and accounting are not the primary duties implicated here.

voucher. CORRECT
C. Charging a higher security deposit to tenants with pets.
D. Enforcing a no-smoking policy in common areas.
RATIONALE: The Illinois Human Rights Act prohibits discrimination based on source of income,
which includes Section 8 vouchers. Felony convictions, pet deposits, and no-smoking policies are
not protected classes under the Act. Thus, imposing different terms based on income source is
discriminatory.
Q5 INTERPRET AND APPLY THE ILLINOIS REAL ESTATE LICENSE ACT OF 2000 AND
ADMINISTRATIVE RULES TO BROKERAGE PRACTICE

tenant. Under Illinois law, where must the broker deposit the security deposit?

B. In a separate, interest-bearing account for the tenant's benefit. CORRECT
C. In the property owner's operating account, with proper records.

RATIONALE: Illinois law requires security deposits for residential properties with 25 or more units
to be held in a separate, interest-bearing account, with interest paid to the tenant. For smaller
properties, the deposit must be held in a separate account, but interest is not required. The
broker must never commingle funds with personal or operating accounts.
