A lease with a simple exchange of rent for occupancy, under which the tenant pays none of the costs of ownership, is known as a(n):

  1. graduated lease
  2. gross lease
  3. net lease
  4. percentage lease

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

In a gross lease, the tenant pays a fixed rent amount, and the landlord is responsible for property taxes, insurance, and maintenance costs. This type of lease is common in residential rentals and contrasts with a net lease, where the tenant pays some or all ownership costs. A graduated lease involves rent increases at intervals, and a percentage lease involves paying rent based on the tenant's gross business income. Therefore, the correct answer is B, gross lease.



Which of the following statements regarding the proper handling of multiple offers in North Carolina is TRUE?

  1. A listing broker must disclose the terms of a buyer's offer to every competing buyer.
  2. A listing broker must continue to present offers even if the seller has accepted a previous offer.
  3. A listing broker must disclose the existence of multiple offers to all buyers before they make an offer.
  4. A listing broker should prioritize the highest offer when presenting multiple offers.

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

According to NCREC rules and guidance, a listing broker is obligated to continue presenting all offers to the seller until closing, unless specifically instructed otherwise by the seller in writing. Even if the seller has accepted an offer, other offers must still be presented unless the transaction is completed. Brokers are not required to disclose the terms of competing offers (doing so requires written consent), nor are they required to prioritize offers based on price alone. Therefore, the correct and legally accurate answer is B.



Which of these activities is prohibited by federal antitrust laws?

  1. Price-fixing
  2. Price gouging
  3. Racial discrimination
  4. Providing legal advice

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

Federal antitrust laws, including the Sherman Antitrust Act, prohibit activities that restrict fair competition. One of the key prohibited practices is price-fixing--an agreement among competitors to set commission rates or pricing, which violates the requirement for competitive, independent business conduct. Price gouging is related to consumer protection during emergencies, and racial discrimination falls under fair housing law, not antitrust. Providing legal advice is a separate licensing concern. Therefore, A is correct.



In residential construction, building a concrete foundation directly on the ground is called:

  1. pier and beam construction
  2. platform construction
  3. post and beam construction
  4. slab-on-grade construction

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

A slab-on-grade foundation is a flat concrete slab poured directly on the ground, often used in warmer climates where ground freezing is not an issue. It supports the building structure directly and does not include a crawl space or basement. Pier and beam and post and beam refer to elevated structures, while platform construction refers to framing, not the foundation. Therefore, the correct answer is D.



When a property is being sold "as is," what responsibility does the listing broker have related to disclosures?

  1. The broker has no disclosure responsibilities.
  2. The broker must still disclose all known material facts.
  3. The broker needs to disclose only major structural issues.
  4. The broker should not disclose any information to avoid liability.

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

In North Carolina, a property sold "as is" means the seller is not agreeing to make repairs, but it does not relieve the broker of their duty to disclose. The broker must disclose all material facts they know or reasonably should know, regardless of the "as is" status. This includes physical defects, zoning issues, or legal encumbrances. Therefore, option B is the correct and legally required practice for brokers.
