Champions School of Real Estate-Law of ContractsExam 1 Questions with Correct Answers
Default of Contract Correct Answer-When a party to a contract fails to
perform under the contract, also known as breach of contract.
Buyer Default(Remedies) Correct Answer-In the event of default by the
buyer, the seller may have several options which include:
-Liquidated Damages
-Monetary Damages
-Specific Performance
Liquidated Damages Correct Answer-The seller can choose to accept the
buyer's earnest money as liquidated damages, releasing all parties from
any further obligation under the contract. Liquidated damages are
damages that are established in the contract.
Monetary Damages Correct Answer-In addition to specific performance,
the injured party may "seek such other relief as may be provided by
law." This would be an award of monetary damages by the court.
Because monetary damages are awarded by the court, one never knows
what they will be until the court rules.
Specific Performance Correct Answer-The injured party files a court
action seeking an order of the court directing the defaulting party to
perform according to the terms of the contract. Specific performance is
the only remedy that would possibly result in the full execution (closing)
of the transaction.
,Buyer Default Correct Answer-In the event of default by the buyer, the
seller may have several options which include:
-Liquidated Damages
-Monetary Damages
-Refund of Earnest Money
Refund of Earnest Money Correct Answer-The buyer's acceptance of an
earnest money refund terminates the contract, releasing both parties
from any further obligation under the contract. Because this is a refund
of the buyer's earnest money, this cannot be considered liquidated
damages.

TVLB (Texas Veteran's Loan Program) Correct Answer-To participate
