Pass your Kansas Salesperson or Broker License

Kansas is one of the only states that bans dual agency entirely, and the exam tests every scenario where candidates assume dual agency is legal with consent.

Courses built for a national audience teach dual agency as a standard arrangement requiring written consent. That answer is wrong in Kansas, and candidates who bring it into the exam fail the agency section. AI generated question banks cannot verify which rules apply in which states, and the Kansas specific prohibition is not reflected in generic national training data.

The License Professor is written by licensed Kansas professionals who built questions around KREC exam priorities. Every question on BRRETA, transaction brokerage requirements, and Kansas compensation disclosure rules is drawn from Kansas statute.

Three Topics that Trip Up Kansas Students Most

BRRETA

Kansas prohibits dual agency entirely — instead requiring a transition to transaction brokerage when both sides are involved — a rule that catches every candidate who assumes dual agency is legal with consent.

Read more →

Transaction Brokerage

Because Kansas bans dual agency, transaction brokerage becomes the default when a single firm works with both buyer and seller — the broker must maintain confidentiality about price willingness and motivation while never advocating for either party.

Disclosure of Compensation

Kansas requires written agreements disclosing exact compensation arrangements before a licensee provides brokerage services — the exam tests timing and whether verbal agreements suffice (they do not).

The Kansas Real Estate License Professor includes specialized deep dives for each of these.

Kansas Real Estate Practice Questions

Sample questions from the Kansas real estate exam — with answers and explanations.

1. A Kansas apartment advertisement states 'perfect for young professionals, close to nightlife.' This likely violates Fair Housing law by:

  1. A.Complying with HUD advertising guidelines
  2. B.Using neutral marketing language
  3. C.Providing legitimate neighborhood description
  4. D.Using age-coded language that discourages families with children
Explanation: Fair Housing law prohibits advertisements using coded language that appeals exclusively to certain familial statuses. Phrases like 'young professionals' and 'close to nightlife' implicitly discourage families with children, constituting familial status discrimination regardless of intent.

2. As a Kansas sales agent, what must you do if you discover a material fact the seller hasn't disclosed?

  1. A.Report it to the Kansas Real Estate Commission immediately
  2. B.Disclose only if the buyer directly asks about that specific issue
  3. C.Keep it confidential; it's not your responsibility
  4. D.Disclose to the buyer or require the seller to disclose it
Explanation: Kansas sales agents have a fiduciary duty to ensure all known material facts are disclosed. If the seller fails to disclose, the agent must either facilitate disclosure by the seller or directly inform the buyer to fulfill ethical and legal obligations.

3. A real estate broker's license in Kansas could be revoked or suspended by the Kansas Real Estate Commission (KREC) for any reason except:

  1. A.Pled guilty to, or was convicted of, a misdemeanor that reflects on honesty, trustworthiness, integrity, or competence to transact real estate business.
  2. B.Procured a license by means of fraud, misrepresentation, or deceit.
  3. C.Failed to account for or remit money belonging to others that came into the licensee's possession.
  4. D.Two reliable witnesses have given sworn testimony that the broker is mentally ill.
Explanation: Under K.S.A. 58-3050(a) and 58-3062, KREC's enumerated grounds include dishonesty-related misdemeanor convictions, procuring a license by fraud, and failing to account for client funds. Kansas law addresses court-declared legal incompetency as an automatic-suspension trigger (K.S.A. 58-3050(g)), not a "negligence or incompetence" disciplinary ground, and has no mental-illness-by-witness-testimony provision.

If you're taking the Broker exam

Broker content shifts toward brokerage supervision and trust account management. Source: Kansas Real Estate Candidate Handbook (Pearson VUE, #091705, April 2025): "The Kansas portion of the exam is made up of 30 items for sales candidates and 40 items for broker candidates."
