Use this guide with the practice flow above. The goal is not to memorize answers, but to recognize how agency, disclosure, contract, financing, ownership, fair housing, and Michigan licensing concepts appear in question form.

Real estate agency and fiduciary duties

Review how agency relationships create duties such as loyalty, disclosure, reasonable care, confidentiality, and obedience to lawful instructions.

Disclosures and material facts

Focus on identifying known facts that could affect a buyer's decision, especially property condition issues and required transaction disclosures.

Contracts and purchase agreements

Practice offer, acceptance, consideration, competent parties, lawful purpose, contingencies, and other concepts that make real estate agreements enforceable.

Financing and settlement basics

Review loan-to-value, escrow, closing steps, earnest money, and how funds and documents move through a transaction.

Property ownership, title, and transfer

Know the difference between deeds, title, ownership interests, valuation methods, and documents that do not transfer ownership.

Michigan regulation and fair housing

Michigan-focused review should include licensing responsibilities, advertising rules, fair housing, consumer protection, and regulator guidance.

A.Property value and appraisal
B.License transfer
