10 sample questions, with answers explained
Every question above with its correct answer and the reasoning behind it. Read the explanations for the ones you answered correctly too. A lucky guess and knowing the rule look identical on a score report. These are sample questions from our larger bank.
1. Does a Maine licensee’s duty to obtain and provide specified property-disclosure information disappear when the licensee represents the buyer?
Why: Chapter 410 applies the specified water, heating, waste, hazards, flood-risk and access duties regardless of the relationship, subject to each section’s property scope.
2. A Maine licensee has been inactive for 5 years and chooses the education route to reactivation. Which package fits the statute?
Why: 32 M.R.S. 13196(2)(C) permits reactivation after more than four but less than six inactive years through 36 CE hours completed within the previous biennium. The designated examination is an alternative; the 5-year interval is in the more-than-4 and less-than-6 band.
3. In a covered Maine heating disclosure, which malfunction history must the licensee ask the seller about?
Why: Chapter 410 asks for heating malfunctions during the past 2 years, along with other system information. Existing occupancy does not replace the inquiry.
4. A Maine seller wants $300,000 and proposes that the agency keep all proceeds above that amount as its commission. What should the licensee recognize?
Why: 02-039 C.M.R. Chapter 410 Section 4 prohibits net listings. A fixed seller net with the agency taking every dollar above it is the prohibited compensation structure.
5. A Maine commissioner argues that a 3-year appointment prevents removal before the term ends. Which statement is accurate?
Why: 32 M.R.S. 13062(4) sets three-year commission terms and permits removal by the Governor for cause. A stated term does not eliminate the Governor's statutory removal authority.
6. A Maine designated broker delegates duties to an agency affiliate. Does the delegation remove the broker's statutory responsibility?
Why: No, the designated broker remains responsible. Section 13183 permits delegation while preserving the designated broker's responsibility.
7. When may a Maine agency act as a disclosed dual agent?
Why: Section 13275 requires informed written consent from all parties. The compensation source or an open-house visit does not establish that consent.
8. A consumer signs a Maine brokerage agreement. When must the licensee give the signer a copy?
Why: Chapter 410 requires copies for signers at signature. The obligation also covers offers, counteroffers and other contracts, rather than only completed sales.
9. A licensed Maine agency changes its business address. What is the latest ordinary reporting deadline under section 13175?
Why: 32 M.R.S. 13175 requires agency application information changes to be reported within ten days. The reporting duty covers material application changes, not just a new license application.
10. In a Maine consensual dual agency, one affiliated licensee knows a client's confidential fact. Which proposition is correct?
Why: 32 M.R.S. 13275(3) rejects imputed knowledge among dual-agency clients, brokerage and affiliates. The no-imputation rule does not authorize a licensee to ignore information actually known or breach confidentiality.
