Sample North Dakota Broker practice questions
Try a few representative questions below. Each includes the correct answer and a short explanation — the same style you'll see in the full practice test.
- Question 1Fiduciary Duties and Disclosure
A North Dakota real estate broker, acting as a dual agent for both buyer and seller in a transaction, fails to disclose a material defect known only to the seller regarding a significant foundation issue. The buyer later discovers this defect and incurs substantial repair costs. What is the most likely legal consequence for the broker in North Dakota?
- A.The broker will be protected from liability if the purchase agreement contained a standard 'as-is' clause, even if the defect was known and material.
- B.The broker's license will automatically be suspended for one year, and they will be required to complete additional continuing education on disclosure laws.
- C.The broker will only be subject to a fine, as the seller is primarily responsible for disclosing known defects.
- D.The broker will face disciplinary action from the North Dakota Real Estate Commission, including potential license suspension or revocation, and may be liable for damages to the buyer in a civil lawsuit.(Correct)
Explanation
Dual agents owe fiduciary duties to both parties. Failing to disclose a known material defect, regardless of whether the seller instructed them to, is a breach of fiduciary duty and potentially fraudulent. This can lead to disciplinary action from the ND Real Estate Commission and civil liability for damages to the buyer.
- Question 2Property Management and Trust Accounts
A North Dakota broker is managing a rental property and collects a security deposit of $1,500 from a tenant. According to North Dakota law, how must this security deposit be handled by the broker?
- A.The broker must hold the security deposit in a non-interest-bearing trust account and can use the interest earned to cover administrative costs of managing the property.
- B.The broker must deposit the security deposit into a separate, interest-bearing trust account in a North Dakota financial institution, and any interest earned belongs to the tenant.(Correct)
- C.The broker must provide the tenant with a receipt for the security deposit within 10 days of receipt and can deposit it into any federally insured financial institution.
- D.The broker may commingle the security deposit with their operating funds, provided they maintain adequate records of the deposit.
Explanation
North Dakota Century Code § 47-16-07 requires security deposits to be held in a separate, interest-bearing trust account in a North Dakota financial institution. The interest earned typically belongs to the tenant, though specific agreements may vary. Commingling funds is prohibited.
- Question 3Advertising and Misrepresentation
A North Dakota real estate broker advertises a property for sale with the statement: 'Amazing lakefront views! Must see to believe!' However, the property is located two miles from the nearest lake and has no direct water access. What type of violation has the broker likely committed?
- A.Misrepresentation or false advertising, which violates North Dakota's real estate advertising regulations and can result in disciplinary action.(Correct)
- B.A minor infraction, as 'lakefront views' can be interpreted subjectively by potential buyers.
- C.No violation, as long as the property is listed in the MLS with accurate details.
- D.A violation of fair housing laws, as the advertisement may deter certain protected classes.
Explanation
This statement constitutes misrepresentation. Even if subjective, claiming 'lakefront views' when the property is two miles away is factually inaccurate and misleading, intended to induce a sale. This violates advertising rules and can lead to penalties.
