license is terminated and cannot practice real estate ever again the
22:10
license is license is revoked automatically without a hearing until that is repaid or the license is

licensed is suspended automatically without a hearing until that is repaid think about your own answer and
22:24
come back in a few seconds

22:45
hearing until that is repaid imagine you borrow money from a
22:51

[Music] agreement and the answer is with a
23:47
written agreement placing a sign on any property offering it for sale or lease without

the written consent of the owner or the owner's authorized agent is a violation
23:58
of Kansas law it's essential agents get written permission before they put down
24:04
a for sale sign imagine you want to borrow your friend's bike and go for a ride before you take their bike you need
24:12
to get their written permission or else it would be considered stealing similarly in Kansas a broker must have
24:19
written consent from the property's owner or their authorized agent before placing a for sale sign on the property

brokerage act that would typically require a brokerage license imagine a family of superheroes

25:56
who has all all the powers of the other family members combined just like how the associate

neurologist can diagnose and treat brain disorders in the same way Kansas Law
27:52
requires anyone who engages in real estate transactions such as listings selling leasing or dealing in properties
28:00
to hold an active real estate license just like how each doctor needs a specific medical license to practice in
28:06
their field real estate Professionals in Kansas must have an active real estate license to legally perform their duties
28:14
it's like having a professional seal of approval for Real Estate activities question number 23 a seller
28:22
tells their agent that a murder occurred in their house 15 years ago what is close users must be made to a seller it
28:30
must be put in the listing contract it must be added onto the MLS as soon as

case a buyer can use a promissary note instead of a bank draft if the broker
29:25
agrees within the terms of the contract if the salesperson agrees within the terms of the contract if the buyer and
29:32
the seller both agree within the terms of the contract or never it is
29:55
forbidden time's up the answer is if the buyer and the seller agree within the
30:00
terms of the contract the only case this can happen if both the buyer and the
30:06
seller agree within the terms of the contract remember the buyer and the seller are free to negotiate the terms
30:12
of a contract imagine you're ordering food at a restaurant with a friend and you
30:17
decide to split the bill you both agree to pay in a specific way like one of you using a credit card and the other using
30:25
cash similarly in a real State transaction if the buyer and seller agree within the terms of the contract
30:32
to use a promissary note instead of a bank draft that is perfectly
30:37
acceptable question number 25 if at any time the balance of the Kansas real
30:42

30:49
each licensed broker a fee of $25 each licensed broker the S and salesperson a
30:55
fee of $25 each licensed broker a fee of $10 and each licensed salesperson a fee
31:01
of $5 or each licensed broker a fee of $15 and each licensed sales person a fee of
31:26
$10 now let's see what the answer is at any time that the balance remaining in the
31:32
real estate recovery revolving fund is less than $100,000 the commission without delay
31:38
shall access each licensed broker a fee of $10 and each licensed salesperson a
31:44
fee of $5 per cansas commission statutes rules and regulations
31:51
58366 imagine you are at a neighborhood potlock and everyone agrees to bring a dish to share
31:57
but if the food runs out and there's less than $100,000 worth of dishes the equivalent of the Kansas real estate
32:05
recovery revolving fund each person must contribute an additional $10 for Brokers
32:11
or $5 for salespersons to ensure that there's enough for everyone similarly if
32:16
the real estate recovery revolving fund balance drops below $100,000 licensed Brokers and
32:23
salespersons are assessed fees to maintain the balance and ensure the fund can continue to support real estate
32:30
transactions in Kansas it's like a neighborhood potlock where everyone pitches in to keep the fees

33:45
terms however another filmmaker starts posting clips of your movie on social
33:50

35:54
disclosed imagine you're buying a used car and the seller tells you about a scratch on the bumper which is a patent
36:01
effect so you can see it however they don't mention that the engine has a hidden problem in Kansas just like when
