Sample Pennsylvania 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 1Agency Relationships
A licensed Pennsylvania real estate broker is representing a seller and has a fiduciary duty to that seller. If the broker also intends to represent the buyer in the same transaction, what action is legally required by the broker *before* any offer is made?
- A.The broker is prohibited from representing both parties and must refuse the buyer's agency.
- B.Obtain written consent from both the seller and the buyer acknowledging the dual agency and its implications.(Correct)
- C.Immediately disclose the intent to the buyer's agent, if one exists, and wait for their confirmation.
- D.Inform the Pennsylvania Real Estate Commission of the dual agency arrangement within 24 hours.
Explanation
Pennsylvania law requires that a broker intending to engage in dual agency must obtain informed written consent from both the seller and the buyer *prior* to any offer being made. This consent must clearly outline the nature of dual agency and its limitations.
- Question 2Transfer Taxes
A buyer purchases a commercial property in Philadelphia for $2,500,000. The buyer assumes an existing mortgage of $1,000,000 and pays the remaining balance in cash. What is the total amount of state and local transfer taxes due on this transaction, assuming a 1% state tax and a 2% local tax rate?
- A.$50,000
- B.$37,500
- C.$25,000
- D.$75,000(Correct)
Explanation
Transfer taxes are calculated on the total consideration paid for the property. The total consideration is the cash paid plus the assumed mortgage. Consideration = $1,500,000 (cash) + $1,000,000 (assumed mortgage) = $2,500,000. Total tax = $2,500,000 * (0.01 state + 0.02 local) = $2,500,000 * 0.03 = $75,000.
- Question 3Licensing and Discipline
A Pennsylvania real estate licensee is found to have engaged in fraudulent misrepresentation regarding the condition of a property. Which of the following is the most severe disciplinary action the Real Estate Commission can impose?
- A.A probationary period with strict supervision for two years.
- B.Permanent revocation of the licensee's license.(Correct)
- C.A fine of up to $5,000 for each offense.
- D.Mandatory completion of 30 hours of continuing education on ethics.
Explanation
While fines and mandatory education are possible penalties, the most severe disciplinary action the Pennsylvania Real Estate Commission can take for serious violations like fraudulent misrepresentation is the permanent revocation of the individual's real estate license.
