What is the difference between a license to use property and an easement?
A license is a personal, revocable privilege to use another's land for a specific purpose (e.g., permission to fish in a pond). It can be canceled by the issuer at any time and does not run with the land.
An easement is a legal interest in another's land for a specific purpose (e.g., utility easement). It is not revocable by the grantor once legally granted.
Consideration is not required for a license or an easement (though it may be part of a contractual easement).
Thus, the main difference is that a license is revocable by the issuer, but an easement is not.
A CORRECT statement about transaction brokers is that they:
A transaction broker facilitates a real estate transaction without representing either party as an agent.
They owe both parties honesty and fairness but do not owe fiduciary duties such as loyalty or confidentiality.
They do not require client-level agency agreements.
They must still be licensed.
Correct answer = B.
A seller sold a property for $375,000, with the closing on July 1st, in a jurisdiction where the buyer pays for the day of closing. The seller had a mortgage balance at the time of closing of $301,000, and had recently paid invoices of $400 for the second quarter's water and electricity, $1,200 for new appliances, and roofing repairs of $700. Based only on these items, how much will the seller receive at closing?
Sale price = $375,000
Mortgage payoff = $301,000
Seller prepaid invoices (utilities, appliances, roof) are already paid and not reimbursable through closing unless agreed. They do not affect the closing statement.
Buyer pays closing day (July 1), so no adjustment required for that day.

A buyer wants to purchase a home for $400,000 with a 15% down payment. The lender charges 1.5 points. How much money does the buyer need up front to make the purchase?

In many states, usury laws:
Usury laws are designed to protect borrowers from being charged excessively high interest rates.
These laws set the maximum legal interest rate that lenders may charge.
The other options (land use, easements, and sales tax) are unrelated to usury laws.
Correct answer: D.
