Four condominium units are valued at $200,000; $215,000; $220,000; and
$225,000; a total value of $860,000. The four condominiums have an annual
property maintenance fee $8,500. The amount of the property maintenance fee
owed by each unit is based upon the unit's value in relation to the total value of
all four units; what is the monthly maintenance fee of the most expensive unit?
A:$184.17
B:$2,125.00
C: $177.08
D: $708.33 - CORRECT ANSWER-$184.17
The most expensive unit is $225,000. The total value of all the units is $860,000.
$225,000 / $860,000 = .2616 or 26%. The annual maintenance fee for all the
units is $8,500. $8,500 x .26 = $2,210 per year for the most expensive unit.
$2,210/12 months determines the monthly maintenance fee of the most
expensive unit is $184.17.

B:A buyer applying for a loan even though it will be difficult to make the monthly
payments.

D:A seller agreeing to give the buyer a purchase money mortgage at closing. -
CORRECT ANSWER-A loan officer telling the seller and buyer to enter into a

Mortgage fraud occurs anytime a participant in a real estate transaction
misrepresents facts with the intent to swindle another party of money. The key to
committing mortgage fraud is keeping terms of a transaction away from the
secured lender. Licensees should never draft paperwork that misrepresents the
terms of a transaction and they are obligated to disclose all terms of a real estate
transaction to the secured lender.

Stat. § 706.02 Conveyance of Real Property requires the following of a contract:
identifies the parties, identifies the land, identifies the interest conveyed and any
material term condition, is signed by or on behalf of each of the grantors, is
signed or joined in by separate conveyance by or on behalf of each spouse, and
is delivered.
Which of the following situations requires a written earnest money disbursement
agreement prior to disbursement of funds when the earnest money is held by the
listing firm?

B:The seller rejects the offer
C:The seller has not accepted the offer and the offer has expired
D:A buyer is not able to obtain financing - CORRECT ANSWER-A buyer is not
able to obtain financing
The listing firm cannot do anything with the earnest money for 60 days after the
scheduled closing date unless the parties reach a written agreement for the
disbursement of the earnest money. The listing firm may wish to write a
memorandum or letter to the buyer and seller and their respective attorneys, if
any, pointing out lines 71-81 of the WB-11 Residential Offer to Purchase and
explaining that this is how the earnest money disbursement must be handled. It
is then up to the parties to work out their differences by negotiation or by going to
small claims court.
A licensee drafts an offer on behalf of some buyers. The husband is not available
to sign the offer so tells his wife to sign his name. The offer was delivered back to
the buyer. What is the status of the offer?
A:Valid
B:Unenforceable
C:Voidable
D:Void - CORRECT ANSWER-Void
The offer is void. There was never a contract because the essential elements of
the contract were never met. Wis. Stat. § 706.02 states that a contract to convey
, must be signed by or on behalf of all parties and 706.03(1m) states that a
conveyance signed by one purporting to act as agent for another shall be
ineffective as against the purported principal unless such agent was expressly
authorized, and unless the authorizing principal is identified as such in the
conveyance or in the form of signature. If the wife had written permission to act
as the husband's principal and indicated such on the offer then there would be a
binding contract.
