[Offers and Negotiations -- Contract Modifications]
A week before closing, lightning struck the roof of the property being sold, doing about $5,000 in damage. The seller and buyer agree to adjust the sales price accordingly and continue with the transaction. What should they do to document this mutual understanding?
Any change to the terms of a binding real estate contract must be made in writing and signed by all parties. In this case, the original Offer to Purchase and Contract remains valid, and the parties are modifying the terms (adjusting the sales price due to damage). This should be documented using a formal amendment. Therefore, the correct answer is C.
[Broker's Authority and Duties -- Transaction Documentation]
According to the North Carolina Real Estate Commission Rules, a broker must deliver a copy of any signed purchase agreement to their client or customer within ____ of receipt.
NCREC rules require that brokers deliver a copy of any executed (signed) document to all parties within 3 calendar days. However, a stricter rule applies to offers and contracts: any signed agency agreement or sales contract must be delivered within 3 days, and any executed offer must be delivered 'immediately, but in no case later than 3 days.' Best practice---and NCREC recommendation---is within 24 hours. Therefore, the most accurate and safe answer is A.

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

[Broker's Authority and Duties -- Commission Eligibility]
A North Carolina broker arranges a real estate sales transaction while working for a brokerage firm. If the broker's license becomes inactive before the transaction closes, the brokerage firm:
According to North Carolina Real Estate Commission policy, as long as the broker was actively licensed at the time the transaction was originated (i.e., while performing licensed activity), the broker is legally entitled to compensation---even if their license becomes inactive before closing. The commission is paid through the firm. Therefore, the correct answer is A.
[Listing Price and Terms -- Appraisal Process]
Which of the following will an appraiser consider when appraising a property?
When using more than one approach to value (sales comparison, cost, and income), an appraiser must reconcile the results, weighting each method based on its relevance to the subject property. The original purchase price and average of all comps are not directly used in determining value. The cost to update may factor into adjustments but is not a primary valuation method. Therefore, the correct answer is D.
