1. Who must conduct a real estate closing in Georgia?Finance and Closing. Open choices and explanation.
  1. A.A Georgia-licensed attorney
  2. B.A title company's closer
  3. C.The listing broker's office
  4. D.An independent escrow officer

Answer A: A Georgia-licensed attorney

Georgia is an attorney-closing state because conveyancing is the practice of law. This also limits what a licensee may say about the legal effect of documents.

Why each choice works or fails

  • A. Correct. A Georgia-licensed attorney must conduct the closing.
  • B. Misconception: title companies close everywhere. They may insure title, but a nonlawyer cannot run a Georgia closing.
  • C. Misconception: the broker who coordinates the deal also closes it. Conducting the closing is the practice of law.
  • D. Misconception: escrow-officer closings, common in other states, do not apply in Georgia.

Rule to remember: Georgia closings are conducted by Georgia-licensed attorneys.

2. An agent describes a property as having the finest views in the county. This is best described as:Practice of Real Estate. Open choices and explanation.
  1. A.Negligent misrepresentation
  2. B.Puffing
  3. C.Fraud
  4. D.An express warranty

Answer B: Puffing

Puffing is exaggerated opinion that a reasonable buyer would not rely on as fact. "Finest views in the county" cannot be measured or proven, so it is sales talk. A statement becomes misrepresentation when it asserts a fact that turns out to be false.

Why each choice works or fails

  • A. Negligent misrepresentation needs a false statement of fact made carelessly. A subjective boast is not a statement of fact.
  • B. Correct. Exaggerated, unmeasurable opinion is puffing.
  • C. Fraud needs an intentional false statement of material fact, not an opinion.
  • D. Candidates think confident claims create guarantees, but a sales opinion from an agent is not a warranty.

Rule to remember: Opinion is puffing. A false statement of fact is misrepresentation.

3. An agent shows homes to a buyer for a month. No brokerage agreement is signed. Under BRRETA, the buyer is:Agency. Open choices and explanation.
  1. A.A client, because of the time the agent invested
  2. B.A client by implication from the agent's conduct
  3. C.A customer, owed no duties at all by the agent
  4. D.A customer, because no written engagement exists

Answer D: A customer, because no written engagement exists

BRRETA defines a brokerage engagement as a written contract, and a client as someone represented under one. Time and effort do not create a client relationship. The buyer is a customer: the agent may perform ministerial acts, must not knowingly give false information, and must disclose known adverse material facts about the property's condition.

Why each choice works or fails

  • A. Effort and time spent feel like representation, but client status requires a written brokerage engagement.
  • B. Georgia does not create a client relationship by implication from conduct.
  • C. A customer is still owed honesty and disclosure of known adverse material facts about the property.
  • D. Correct. Without a written engagement the buyer is a customer.

Rule to remember: No written engagement, no client. A customer is still owed honesty and known adverse material facts.

4. A seller tells the listing agent she will accept far less than the asking price and asks the agent to keep that to herself. An unrepresented buyer asks about it. The agent must:Agency. Open choices and explanation.
  1. A.Reveal it, since a customer is owed honesty
  2. B.Hint at it without stating an exact figure
  3. C.Reveal it, but only in a signed writing
  4. D.Decline to answer, since it is confidential

Answer D: Decline to answer, since it is confidential

The seller asked that her bottom line stay confidential, and a seller's broker must keep such information confidential. Honesty to a customer means not giving false information; it never requires handing over the client's negotiating position. The agent can decline to answer without lying.

Why each choice works or fails

  • A. Honesty forbids lying. It does not require giving up the client's confidential position.
  • B. A hint discloses the same information indirectly, which still breaches the confidentiality the seller requested.
  • C. Putting it in writing is still a disclosure the seller has forbidden.
  • D. Correct. The seller's bottom line is confidential, and the agent may decline without saying anything false.

Rule to remember: Honesty to a customer never requires revealing a client's confidential negotiating position.

5. Which event does NOT terminate an offer?Contracts. Open choices and explanation.
  1. A.The offeree asking whether the price is negotiable
  2. B.A counteroffer made by the offeree
  3. C.The lapse of the time stated in the offer
  4. D.The death of the offeror before acceptance

Answer A: The offeree asking whether the price is negotiable

A mere inquiry about terms is not a rejection, so the offer stays open. A counteroffer rejects the original offer, an offer ends when its stated time lapses, and the death of either party before acceptance ends it. Asking "would you take less?" keeps the offer alive; saying "I will pay less" kills it and substitutes a counteroffer.

Why each choice works or fails

  • A. Correct. An inquiry is not a rejection, so the offer survives it.
  • B. A counteroffer rejects the original offer and ends it.
  • C. An offer expires when its stated time runs out.
  • D. Death of either party before acceptance terminates the offer.

Rule to remember: An inquiry about terms leaves an offer open; a counteroffer, lapse, or death before acceptance ends it.

The Georgia-specific distinction

National instinct is the highest-risk state trap. A rule that is common elsewhere can be wrong for a Georgia security deed, attorney closing, agency relationship, tax, or foreclosure question.

Worked result example

A Georgia tax stem supplies price, down payment, loan, and interest rate. If it asks for intangible recording tax, the loan is the base. The other numbers are not clues that all figures must be used.

Common exam traps

  • EXCEPT and NOT invert the target.
  • BEST and FIRST test priority.
  • A familiar national answer can be wrong in Georgia.
  • A supplied number can be unnecessary.

Ready to move on?

  1. Score the set before opening notes.
  2. Explain the winning rule without repeating the answer choice.
  3. Classify every miss as knowledge, distinction, wording, math setup, or timing.
  4. Repair the weakest official area, then answer a fresh set on another day.
  5. Move on only when the result is stable and guesses are being marked as gaps.

Assessment integrity

The questions are original and mapped to the current PSI outline. This preview introduces the assessment; the complete version is in Pass Georgia. PSI says practice exams help candidates become familiar with general question types, but they do not replace education and a good practice score does not guarantee an examination outcome. This page reports evidence, not a pass probability.

Are these actual PSI exam questions?

No. Every item is original, written from the current published outline and primary sources. No question is copied, recalled, reconstructed, or represented as a live PSI item.

Does this score predict whether I will pass?

No. One practice result is evidence about this question sample. Use the area breakdown, review guesses as well as misses, and confirm improvement with fresh questions on another day.

What should I do after the result?

Open the explanation for every miss and guess, restate the rule, use the linked repair lesson, then continue with the next lesson: Open the complete trap library.
