Texas Real Estate STANDARDS OF
CONDUCT Exam Study Guide with
Complete Solutions

If a broker tells a lender that the sales price on a property is something above its actual

sales price in order to help the buyer obtain a larger loan, the - Answer✔️✔️-broker faces

loss of license and a fine.




Brokers are not to be parties to a dual contract for the purpose of obtaining a larger

loan. Doing so may subject the license holder to charges of fraud.

In Texas, real estate commissions are - Answer✔️✔️-negotiable between the client and

the broker.




Commissions are always negotiable between the principal and the agent. The

commissions are not determined by law, the Real Estate Commission, or a group of

local brokers. Any attempt to set commission rates among competitors in the real estate

industry would be considered an antitrust violation. A broker does not commit an

antitrust violation by requiring all the broker's own licensees to charge a specific rate or

amount so long as the broker does not conspire or agree with competing brokers to do

the same. All listings and buyer/tenant representation agreements in the firm belong to

the broker. Therefore, the broker is only prescribing a commission amount for all the

broker's own agreements.

negotiating any listing, net or otherwise, or even offering to purchase the property on the

licensee's own account as a result of a contact made while acting as a real estate

agent, a "licensee is obligated to advise a property owner as to the licensee's opinion of

market value of a property."

The License Act requires that every listing - Answer✔️✔️-has a definite termination date.




All listings must specify a definite period during which the broker is to be employed and

must have a definite termination date. Texas statute prohibits the use of automatic

extensions of time in listing agreements.

All of the following are violations of the Texas Real Estate Licensing Act EXCEPT
