Agency Relationships and Fiduciary Duties & Contracts and Contract Law

  • Write out, from memory, the fiduciary duties owed in an agency relationship and define each agency type (single agency, dual agency, limited agency concepts) without notes

  • Diagram the life cycle of an agency relationship: how it is created, disclosed, and terminated, including the disclosure timing rules in a residential transaction

  • List the elements of a valid contract, the statute of frauds requirements, and the remedies for breach, and match each to a listing agreement or buyer-broker agreement clause

  • Answer 60 practice questions on domains 1 and 2 and log every miss with the specific rule it tested

Your checkpoint

A one-page agency-and-fiduciary cheat sheet written from memory, plus a 60-question domain 1-2 quiz scored at 75% or higher with a written error log

Week 2

Contracts and Contract Law & Real Estate Finance and Mortgages

  • Finish the contract domain by writing clause-level examples of contingencies, assignment, novation, liquidated damages, and earnest money default remedies

  • Compute loan-to-value, down payment, monthly PITI, discount points, and lender yield on 10 practice problems showing all work

  • Build a comparison table of conventional, FHA, VA, USDA, and state housing finance agency first-time buyer programs, noting down payment, insurance, and eligibility differences

  • Re-answer every week-1 missed question and state the corrected rule aloud before moving on

Week 4

Practice of Real Estate: Disclosures, Fair Housing, and Antitrust & Utah-Specific Agency, Disclosure, and Transaction Practices

  • Write a summary of seller property condition disclosure obligations, the federally protected fair housing classes plus Utah additions, and the antitrust prohibitions that apply to commissions and listing practices

  • Resolve 10 Utah transaction scenarios involving agency disclosure timing and practice rules, defending each answer in one written sentence

  • Identify advertising, social media, and solicitation compliance pitfalls and write a do/don't list for each

  • Complete 40 mixed questions on domains 9 and 11 and categorize every miss as rule-unknown versus misread

Your checkpoint

A 10-scenario written answer set on disclosure, fair housing, and Utah agency practice, with each answer tied to a specific rule

Week 5

Utah Real Estate License Law and Division/Commission Rules & Land Use Controls, Zoning, and Environmental Issues

  • Reconstruct the Utah licensing framework from memory: license tiers and requirements, renewal and continuing education, and the roles of the Division and the Commission

  • List the recordkeeping, advertising, disclosure, and handling-of-funds requirements under Utah license law and flag the most commonly tested violations

  • Summarize zoning basics, nonconforming use, variance versus special exception, and the main environmental disclosure obligations (lead-based paint, asbestos, wetlands, and hazardous conditions)

  • Answer 40 practice questions on domains 10 and 4 and score at least 80%

A one-page Utah license-law quick-reference sheet plus a 40-question domain 10/4 quiz scored at 80% or higher

Week 6

Property Valuation and Comparative Market Analysis & Leasing and Property Management

  • Compute CMA adjustment amounts and solved net operating income, capitalization rate, and gross rent multiplier problems across 8 worked examples

  • Compare the sales comparison, cost, and income approaches and state the property type and data conditions under which each is most reliable

  • Outline lease types and terms, landlord and tenant rights and duties, security deposit handling, and the property manager's responsibilities to the owner

  • Answer 40 practice questions on domains 5 and 8 and redo all prior misses from weeks 1-5

  • Take one full-length 100-question timed practice exam under exam-day conditions with no notes

  • Rewrite every missed question as a flashcard stating the tested rule and the reason the trap answer was tempting

  • Rehearse the highest-frequency Utah-specific rules (agency disclosure, license law, disclosures) aloud until each can be stated without hesitation

  • Recite the accumulated cheat sheets for domains 1, 2, 6, 7, 9, 10, and 11 from memory, patching any gap immediately

  • Memorize the numbers-and-dates list (disclosure timelines, license renewal cycles, continuing education hours, proration conventions) and self-test on it twice

  • Simulate exam-day pacing once more, budgeting roughly one minute per question with a flag-and-return strategy

Your checkpoint

A second full-length exam scored at 85% or higher plus a one-page numbers-and-dates sheet reproduced from memory without notes

Milestones

Week 2: Both domain 1-2 and domain 2-6 quiz sets are complete, and the mortgage math worksheet is 100% correct with work shown; if any mortgage calculation type is still failing, it is re-drilled before week 3 begins

Week 4: A cumulative 50-question quiz spanning domains 1, 2, 6, and 7 (the heaviest weights) is scored at 75% or higher; any domain under 70% is written into the week 7 remediation list

Week 6: All eleven domains have been studied at least once, every cheat sheet exists, and the error log is current; total logged misses have dropped by at least half compared with week 2

Week 8: Two full-length timed exams are on record with scores of 80% and 85% or higher respectively, and no domain sits below 70% on the most recent exam
