Real Estate New-Jersey-Real-Estate-Salesperson Exam Dumps Are Essential To Get Good Marks

Q44. The listing broker has been presented with multiple offers. The seller would accept only a cash offer on the home, so the broker will present:

the highest cash offer to the seller.

the highest offer to the seller.

only cash offers to the seller.

all offers to the seller.

According to NJREC Rules (N.J.A.C. 11:5-6.9):
A licensee must present all written offers to the seller immediately (within 24 hours).
It is the seller’s decision which offer to accept.
A broker cannot filter or withhold offers (cash or financed) without the seller’s explicit instruction.
Correct answer = D.
Reference: NJREC Rules and Regulations; NJ Real Estate Salesperson Study Guide, Chapter on Fiduciary Duties and Offer Presentation.

Q45. Which of the following is a permitted free offering?

A complimentary home warranty with every listing

A coupon for discounted commission on listing services

A free dinner for attendees at a homebuyers’ evening seminar

Free use of a local moving van for all listings

According to NJREC rules on inducements (N.J.A.C. 11:5-6.4):
Free offers to the general public (e.g., a dinner seminar or educational event) are permissible because they are not conditioned upon listing or buying.
Inducements like “home warranty with every listing,” “discounted commissions,” or “moving vans for clients only” are contingent on brokerage activity and are prohibited.
Thus, the permitted free offering is C.
Reference: NJREC Rules and Regulations, N.J.A.C. 11:5-6.4; NJ Real Estate Salesperson Study Guide, Chapter on Advertising and Inducements.

Q46. A buyer’s agent is NOT permitted to tell a buyer that:

the seller is willing to accept less than the listing price because of financial circumstances

a former occupant of a property had AIDS

the roof leaked recently but was patched by the owner

the property was the scene of a serious crime

Under federal Fair Housing Law (1988 Amendments) and NJ Law Against Discrimination:
Licensees are prohibited from disclosing that a property was occupied by someone with HIV/AIDS. Such disclosure is considered discrimination against persons with disabilities.
Material defects (e.g., roof leaks) must be disclosed.
Stigmatized property issues (e.g., crime scenes) do not legally require disclosure in NJ, but agents may discuss if asked.
Disclosing the seller’s willingness to accept less is allowed only with the seller’s consent.
Correct prohibited disclosure = B.
Reference: Fair Housing Amendments Act (1988); NJ Law Against Discrimination; NJ Real Estate Salesperson Study Guide, Chapter on Fair Housing and Disclosure.

Q47. Two real estate firms shared equally a 6% commission on the sale of a house. The listing licensee was paid
60% of the broker’s share. The house was sold for $110,000. How much did the listing agent earn?

$1,320

$1,980

$2,640

$3,980

Calculation (Finance/Math section of the NJ Real Estate Salesperson Pre-Licensure Course Study Guide):
* Total commission = $110,000 × 6% = $6,600
* Two firms split equally: each broker gets $3,300
* Listing licensee paid 60% of broker’s share: $3,300 × 0.60 = $1,980
Thus, the listing agent’s earnings are $1,980.
(Reference: NJ Real Estate Salesperson Pre-Licensure Course Study Guide, Math for Salespersons- Commission Splits.)

Q48. If a salesperson or broker-salesperson maintains a webpage that is not linked to the webpage of their broker, the licensee’s webpage must display the name of the broker as well as the

broker’s telephone number.

broker’s email address.

address of the broker’s main office.

address of the branch office from which the licensee operates.

Under NJREC advertising rules (N.J.A.C. 11:5-6.1), any licensee maintaining an independent website (not directly linked to the broker’s official site) must clearly and prominently display:
The name of their employing broker, and
The main office address of the broker.
This ensures the public understands the licensee works under a supervising broker, and prevents misleading advertising. It is not sufficient to only list a branch office or email.
Therefore, the correct answer is C.
Reference: NJREC Rules and Regulations, N.J.A.C. 11:5-6.1 (Advertising Requirements).

Q49. A couple secured a home mortgage loan from a lender who appraised the property at $92,500. If the loan-to- value ratio on the property was 85%, what was the minimum amount the couple needed for the down payment?

$6,166

$7,862

$10,882

$13,875

The loan-to-value (LTV) ratio is based on the appraised value (or purchase price, whichever is lower).
Appraised Value = $92,500
LTV = 85% # Loan Amount = $92,500 × 0.85 = $78,625
Down Payment = $92,500 – $78,625 = $13,875
Wait – let’s carefully match the options:
$13,875 is Option D.
Corrected answer: D
# The couple must provide $13,875 as the minimum down payment.
Reference: NJ Real Estate Salesperson Study Guide, Real Estate Finance chapter; Loan-to-Value Calculations.

Q50. Which of the following actions is NOT a cause for suspension or revocation of a New Jersey real estate license?

failing to provide a client with a copy of the signed exclusive listing contract

delivering a consumer information statement to a seller after having made a listing presentation

payment of a referral fee by a licensed New Jersey broker to a broker licensed in another state

collecting a commission as a broker from both parties to a transaction while representing both parties as their agent

The New Jersey Real Estate Licensing Law (N.J.S.A. 45:15-17) lists specific causes for suspension or revocation, including:
Failing to provide a signed document copy to a client.
Failure to properly deliver a Consumer Information Statement before discussing motivation or making a presentation.
Collecting compensation from both parties without full disclosure and written consent.
However, paying a referral fee to an out-of-state broker is expressly permitted, provided the other broker is properly licensed in their jurisdiction. This is not grounds for discipline.
Reference: NJ Real Estate Licensing Law, N.J.S.A. 45:15-17; NJREC Rules on Referral Fees.

Q51. Under New Jersey Real Estate Commission rules, a licensee’s obligations to the public include all of the following responsibilities EXCEPT:

accepting any reasonable commission offered by a seller in the course of negotiating a listing agreement

dealing honestly with all parties

disclosing material defects in a property to a prospective purchaser

protecting and promoting the interests of the licensee’s principal when acting as an agent

According to NJREC Rules (N.J.A.C. 11:5-6.3 and 11:5-6.4), obligations to the public include:
Dealing honestly and fairly with all parties.
Disclosing material defects known to the licensee.
Protecting and promoting the interests of the principal when acting as agent.
There is no requirement that a licensee must accept “any reasonable commission” offered. Commission rates are always negotiable and must be agreed upon voluntarily.
Correct answer = A.
Reference: NJREC Rules and Regulations; NJ Real Estate Salesperson Study Guide, Chapter on Fiduciary Duties.

Q52. New Jersey Real Estate Commission regulations require a licensee to terminate membership in a real estate board or multiple listing service whenever the organization:

suggests uniform commission rates among all member brokers

lobbies against legislation that the licensee personally favors

charges dues that the licensee feels are excessive

advocates rules, practices, and/or standards with which the licensee does not agree

The NJ Real Estate Commission prohibits price-fixing or collusion regarding commission rates. If a real estate board, trade association, or MLS suggests or enforces uniform commission rates among member brokers, participation in such a practice would violate antitrust laws as well as NJREC regulations.
In such cases, licensees must terminate their membership immediately to avoid disciplinary action. Lobbying, dues disputes, or general disagreements with rules are not grounds for mandatory termination.
Reference: NJREC Rules and Regulations; NJ Real Estate Salesperson Study Guide, Chapter on Antitrust and Commission Rules.

Q53. The heir to a large estate will be of legal age within 30 days. The heir lists for sale with a broker one of the properties held by the estate. The broker knows of a buyer for the property and sells it within 24 hours of listing, with closing to be in 45 days. Both listing and sale contracts are:

fulfilled

executed

voidable

executory

Contracts signed by a minor (or someone not of legal age) are considered voidable at the option of the minor.
They are not void, because the minor may affirm the contract upon reaching legal age.
Executory = contract obligations not yet completed.
Executed = all obligations fully performed.
Since the heir is under legal age at signing, the contracts are voidable.
Correct answer = C.
Reference: NJ Real Estate Salesperson Study Guide, Chapter on Contracts (Void, Voidable, Executed, Executory).

Q54. After announcing that a new city park will soon be developed, homes in the immediate area experience a rise in value. This is an example of which of the following principles of value?

change

contribution

anticipation

highest and best use

Principle of anticipation: Value is created by the expectation of future benefits (e.g., new park development).
Change: value is constantly influenced by natural and economic changes.
Contribution: value of an improvement is measured by its contribution to the property’s value.
Highest and best use: most profitable legal use of the land.
Here, the increase is due to anticipated future benefits # C.
Reference: NJ Real Estate Salesperson Study Guide, Chapter on Appraisal Principles.

Q55. Prospective buyers asked the licensee representing them if it would be a good idea to check the property they wish to purchase for radon. The licensee’s best response would be to tell the buyers that:

it is unlikely that radon would be a problem in that area.

as long as they are non-smokers, it should not be an issue.

they should do so, because radon is now considered to be one of the causes of lung cancer.

they need not do so, because if radon were present, there would be an odor that would make it easy to detect.

Radon is a colorless, odorless, radioactive gas linked to lung cancer.
The EPA and NJDEP recommend testing homes for radon regardless of location.
Licensees should never minimize the risk or falsely suggest it is detectable by odor.
The best professional response is to recommend that buyers test for radon because it is a known health risk.
Correct answer = C.
Reference: NJDEP Radon Hazard Program; NJ Real Estate Salesperson Study Guide, Chapter on Environmental Issues.

Q56. Under the New Jersey Real Estate Sales Full Disclosure Act, the Act does NOT apply to a development project:

consisting of 10 units.

extending over a 5 year period only.

already approved by the Department of Commerce.

where the purchaser’s total financial obligation is less than $5,000.

The NJ Real Estate Sales Full Disclosure Act (RESFDA) regulates sales or leases of subdivided land and certain developments to protect consumers.
Exemptions exist for small-scale projects or when the total financial obligation to the purchaser is less than
$5,000.
Developments with 100+ lots typically require registration and a Public Offering Statement.
Thus, the Act does not apply where the financial obligation is under $5,000.
Reference: NJ Real Estate Sales Full Disclosure Act, N.J.S.A. 45:15-16.27; NJ Real Estate Salesperson Study Guide, Chapter on Land Sales.

Q57. Which of the following statements about branch offices is INCORRECT?

The name of the branch office supervisor must be recorded with the commission.

A licensed broker-salesperson must supervise the office on a full-time basis.

Two salespersons may be designated to share supervising responsibilities.

The employing broker is ultimately responsible for all licensees employed at the branch office.

According to NJREC Rules and Regulations (N.J.A.C. 11:5-6.4 & 6.5):
A branch office must be supervised by a broker or broker-salesperson designated by the employing broker.
The supervisor’s name must be recorded with the Commission.
The supervising broker/broker-salesperson must work full-time at that location.
The employing broker remains ultimately responsible for all licensees.
It is not permitted to designate two salespersons to share supervisory responsibilities.
Thus, the incorrect statement is C.
Reference: NJREC Rules and Regulations, N.J.A.C. 11:5-6.4, 11:5-6.5; NJ Real Estate Salesperson Study Guide, Chapter on Licensing Requirements.

Q58. A salesperson is selling a leased commercial property. What will happen to the lease after the sale is consummated?

The lease is assigned to the new owner.

The lease expires and the tenant must move.

The tenant and the new owner must negotiate a new lease.

The new owner has the option of canceling the lease or accepting the lease.

In New Jersey, under landlord-tenant law, a lease is considered a contract that runs with the land. When a property is sold while a lease is in effect, the new owner automatically assumes the rights and responsibilities of the landlord under the existing lease.
The tenant does not need to renegotiate and cannot be forced to vacate until the lease term expires, unless both parties agree otherwise. This transfer is known as an assignment of lease to the new owner.
Therefore, the correct answer is A.
Reference: NJ Real Estate Salesperson Pre-Licensure Course Guide, Chapter on Leases; NJ Landlord-Tenant Law principles.

Q59. A city has built a new library and has contacted the broker to list and sell the old library building. Which approach should the broker use to estimate the fair market value for the purpose of listing and selling this property?

income approach

sales comparison

replacement cost

gross rent multiplier

For special-purpose properties such as schools, churches, libraries, or government buildings, there are typically few comparable sales and the properties are not income-producing.
In these cases, appraisers use the cost (replacement) approach, which estimates the value by calculating the cost of replacing the structure minus depreciation, plus land value.
Correct answer: C. replacement cost.
Reference: NJ Real Estate Salesperson Study Guide, Chapter on Appraisal Methods (Cost Approach for Special-Purpose Properties).

Q60. A seller places a property on the market for sale at a certain price. A buyer sees the property and makes a written offer to purchase that is 90% of the asking price. The seller rejects that offer, but will accept an offer of 95% of the original asking price. The buyer rejects that counteroffer. The original offer is:

rescinded

null and void

irrevocable

binding

Once an offer is rejected or countered, the original offer is terminated and cannot be revived unless resubmitted.
A counteroffer legally cancels the original offer.
Therefore, the buyer’s initial offer is null and void once the seller counters.
Correct answer = B.
Reference: NJ Real Estate Salesperson Study Guide, Chapter on Contracts and Offers.

Q61. A purchase money note need NOT contain the:

rate of interest.

time and method of payment.

loan-to-value ratio.

principal amount of the loan.

A promissory note (purchase money note) is the borrower’s written promise to repay a loan. It must include:
The principal amount of the loan.
The interest rate.
The time and method of repayment.
The loan-to-value ratio (LTV) is a lender’s underwriting guideline but is not a required element of the promissory note.
Correct answer = C.
Reference: NJ Real Estate Salesperson Study Guide, Chapter on Financing Instruments (Promissory Notes & Mortgages)

Q62. A licensee listed a house for $187,500, and a dual agency does not exist. A buyer is willing to offer $184,000.
The licensee explains that the seller will take no less than $186,500. The buyer agrees to offer $186,500. Did the licensee act properly?

Yes, to ensure acceptance of an offer, the licensee needed to disclose the lowest price the seller would accept.

Yes, because the licensee persuaded the buyer to raise the price $2,500.

No, the licensee should have accepted the first offer and persuaded the seller to accept it.

No, the licensee should not have disclosed that the seller would accept less than the listing price.

Under fiduciary duties of a seller’s agent in New Jersey:
A licensee must act in the best interest of their client (the seller).
The agent cannot disclose the seller’s bottom line or confidential financial information without the seller’s explicit consent.
Disclosing “the seller will take no less than $186,500” violated confidentiality and the duty of loyalty.
Thus, the licensee acted improperly.
