A loan is set up so that the borrower's loan payments are for the same amount each month. A portion of each payment goes to interest, and a portion goes to principal, and the loan balance will be zero at the end of the loan term. Which type of loan is this?

By the end of the loan term, the entire balance is paid off. Therefore, the correct answer is A --- fully amortizing.

A seller wants to net $200,000 from a transaction but will have to pay off a home loan and other fees, at a total cost of $288,800. The seller will also need to pay a 6% commission. What will the property need to sell for?
Correct : C
Let X = sale price.
Seller nets $200,000 and owes $288,800 in fees and costs. A 6% commission will be taken from the sale price.
Net = 0.94X -- 288,800 = 200,000
Solving:
0.94X = 488,800
X = $520,000
Therefore, the required sale price is $520,000 --- answer C.

A North Carolina broker with RealtyOne is working for a buyer client to find a home. They find a home listed with RealtyTwo and submit an offer on Wednesday afternoon. The listing agent presents the offer to the seller on Thursday. The seller signs the offer with no changes and returns it to the listing agent on Thursday evening. Friday morning, the listing agent calls the RealtyOne broker and states the seller has signed and accepted the buyer's offer. The RealtyOne broker receives the signed documents on Saturday. On Sunday morning, the RealtyOne broker meets with their buyer client, informs them of the acceptance, and delivers the signed documents to them. When did the parties form a valid and binding contract?
Correct : C
Under North Carolina contract law, a real estate contract becomes binding at the moment the final acceptance is communicated to the offering party (or their agent). In this case, that happened on Friday morning when the listing agent communicated the seller's acceptance to the buyer's broker. Delivery of the documents is not required for formation of the contract; communication is sufficient.
