Sample Questions
Question 1: Condominiums
A buyer is purchasing a condominium unit. What document should their agent recommend they review before finalizing the purchase?
- The builder's warranty certificate
- The status certificate
- The property tax assessment
- The home inspection report only
Show Answer
B) The status certificate. The status certificate provides critical information about the condominium corporation's financial health, rules, pending litigation, and the specific unit's common expense obligations. It is the most important document for a condo purchase.
Question 2: Rural Properties
When representing a buyer interested in a rural property with a private well, what should the agent advise?
- Private wells require no special considerations
- The buyer should obtain a water potability test
- Municipal water standards automatically apply
- Well water testing is the seller's responsibility
Show Answer
B) The buyer should obtain a water potability test. Private wells are not regulated by municipal water standards. A potability test confirms the water is safe to drink and should be a condition in the Agreement of Purchase and Sale.
