Delaware operates under Statutory Agency, not common law fiduciary principles, and the exam tests that distinction throughout the agency section.
Candidates prepared on national platforms arrive expecting fiduciary duty as the default. Delaware replaced that framework with statutory duties defined by the legislature, and the gap between those two systems is the single largest source of failed agency questions on the state portion. No AI tool trained on national real estate content can teach this correctly, because the framework simply does not exist anywhere else in those training sets.
The License Professor is written by licensed Delaware professionals who know what Pearson VUE tests in the state portion. Every question on statutory agency structure, disclosure timing, and coastal zone restrictions is drawn from Delaware law.
Three Topics that Trip Up Delaware Students Most
Statutory Agency Law
Delaware defaults to "statutory agency" where duties are defined by statute, NOT as a fiduciary — students bomb this because they confuse it with common law agency, not realizing a consumer must affirmatively elect a written agreement to get fiduciary-level representation.
CIS (Consumer Information Statement)
The CIS must be delivered at the earlier of the first scheduled appointment, first property showing, or offer submission — students fail because they mix up the three delivery triggers and don’t understand what the CIS explains about statutory versus common law agency.
Coastal Zone Act
Delaware’s 1971 Act flatly prohibits new heavy industrial development within the coastal zone and regulates manufacturing through a permit system — students miss how broadly the Act restricts commercial real estate development along Delaware’s coast.
The Delaware Real Estate License Professor includes specialized deep dives for each of these.
