Maryland-Real-Estate-Salesperson Exam Dumps : Maryland Real Estate Salesperson Examination

In the buyer representation section, the course contrasts common forms:

Exclusive right to represent: the brokerage is owed compensation if the buyer purchases during the term, regardless of who finds the property.

Exclusive agency: the brokerage is the only broker engaged, but the buyer reserves the right to purchase without the broker and owe no commission if the buyer self-procures the property.

Under the federal Fair Housing Act, “handicap” (disability) is a protected class. HIV/AIDS is considered a disability, and making statements or disclosures that identify or single out someone based on a protected characteristic is prohibited. Disclosing that an owner (or occupant) has HIV is treated as discriminatory, violates fair housing standards, and also breaches confidentiality. Maryland fair housing law mirrors and expands federal protections, and the pre-licensing course emphasizes that licensees must never disclose information tied to protected classes because it can facilitate or signal discriminatory treatment (e.g., steering, discouraging, or differential terms).

Bulk zoning regulates the intensity of land use—controlling density through standards such as lot size, setbacks, height limits, floor-area ratio (FAR), and open-space requirements. Its primary purpose is to restrict density and prevent overcrowding, not to group similar uses (which is the role of traditional/Euclidean zoning). This is taught in the course’s Land Use Controls and Property Development section.
