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. A Michigan seller delivers the required disclosure to the buyer's agent. What is the statutory delivery effect?
Why: Under MCL 565.954(1), a disclosure statement given to the buyer's agent is considered given to the buyer. The buyer's authorized agent is a recognized recipient under the delivery provision.
2. Under designated agency agreements, salesperson Ana represents a seller and salesperson Ben, in the same Michigan firm, represents a buyer of that home. Who is considered a disclosed consensual dual agent in the transaction?
Why: MCL 339.2517(8) says two affiliated designated agents "may each represent a different party in the same transaction and shall not be considered dual agents." Under section 2517(7), "the broker and all supervisory brokers are considered disclosed consensual dual agents for that real estate transaction," and Ana and Ben must tell their clients that the broker represents both sides before an offer is made or presented.
3. After closing, a Michigan buyer argues that the Seller's Disclosure Statement was a warranty of the home's condition. What does the statutory form say?
Why: The statutory form in MCL 565.957 states that it is not a warranty and not part of the contract. It records the seller's disclosures; it does not guarantee condition, so the time-limited and broker warranty options are inventions.
4. For Michigan's agency definitions, does buyer include a person acquiring a leasehold interest?
Why: Under MCL 339.2517(11)(b), "buyer" includes a purchaser, tenant, or lessee of any legal or equitable interest in real estate. The statutory definition is broader than an everyday cash-sale-only use of buyer.
5. A Michigan home was the site of a well-publicized death years ago, with no physical effect on the property. Under the rule on Michigan's exam outline, what disclosure duty applies to this stigma?
Why: Michigan's state outline states the rule directly: "No disclosure duty attaches to stigmatized property." A stigma is not a physical condition of the property. The time-limited option is a distractor with no basis in the Michigan rule.
6. Lena passes the Michigan salesperson exam and asks LARA to issue her license in "escrow" until she chooses a broker. What happens?
Why: LARA states that "Michigan does not offer an 'escrow' option for real estate licensees" and that "After the selected employing broker approves your request, your license will be issued." Kentucky offers an inactive status formerly called escrow, which is the trap here; Michigan makes the broker a condition of issuance.
7. A Michigan seller signs a limited service agreement with a listing broker. Which item may the seller waive?
Why: The MCL 339.2517 form states: "Only those services set forth in paragraph (2)(b), (c), and (d) above may be waived by the execution of a limited service agreement." Those are accepting and presenting offers, assisting with offers and negotiations, and assisting after a purchase agreement. Loyalty, confidentiality and legal compliance are minimum duties under any service provision agreement, and the waiver goes on a separate Limited Service Agreement form.
8. Jordan has finished his Michigan prelicensure course and wants to sit the PSI salesperson exam. What must he do first?
Why: Michigan is an apply-first state: "you must first submit your real estate salesperson online application in MiPLUS and upload a copy of your 40-hour ... certificate of completion before you can be made eligible." Broker sponsorship comes after the exam, before issuance. A preliminary determination is optional, not a step every applicant takes.
9. A Michigan seller hands the Seller's Disclosure Statement to the buyer in person only after both have signed the purchase agreement. Within how many hours after delivery may the buyer terminate by written notice?
Why: MCL 565.954(3)(a) allows termination "Not later than 72 hours after delivery of the disclosure statement to the prospective transferee, if the disclosure statement was delivered to the prospective transferee in person." The buyer terminates by written notice to the seller or the seller's agent. The 120-hour period applies only when the late statement goes by registered mail.
10. A Michigan salesperson leaves the broker. What license-return timing does Michigan law reference for the broker?
Why: Under MCL 339.2512(1)(f), a Michigan broker must return a salesperson's license within 5 days as MCL 339.2507 requires. The statutory return duty is not a device for holding the departing salesperson's license hostage.
