New Hampshire Real Estate Exam Study Practice

Property concepts, contracts and agency, finance, valuation, and transaction math.

Distinguish national principles from the state-law portion of the credential you seek. Contract and finance exercises state their assumptions; do not treat an example commission, interest rate, or timeline as a legal requirement.

Use New Hampshire government and agency directory to locate the relevant state agency. For a municipal trade credential, verify the city or county where the work will occur.

Worked examples

Practice walkthrough

In a hypothetical listing agreement, the total brokerage compensation is explicitly set at 4% of the $325,000 sale price. A separate agreement allocates 40% of that compensation to Firm B. How much does Firm B receive?

Answer: $5,200

The total agreed compensation is $325,000 × 0.04 = $13,000. Firm B receives 40% of that amount, or $5,200; the remaining $7,800 goes elsewhere under the stated split. The percentages apply in sequence, not directly as 40% of the sale price.

Practice walkthrough

For this exercise, the cost approach adds land value to building replacement cost after physical depreciation. Land is worth $80,000, replacement cost is $240,000, and physical depreciation is $30,000. No other adjustments apply. What is the indicated property value?

Answer: $290,000

Depreciated building cost is $240,000 − $30,000 = $210,000. Adding the land value gives $290,000. Omitting land yields only the building component, while adding depreciation instead of subtracting it treats deterioration as an improvement.
