Bulk zoning regulates the intensity of land use-controlling density through standards such as lot size, setbacks, height limits, floor-area ratio (FAR), and open-space requirements. Its primary purpose is to restrict density and prevent overcrowding, not to group similar uses (which is the role of traditional
/Euclidean zoning). This is taught in the course's Land Use Controls and Property Development section.

In Maryland, a real estate licensee may only perform brokerage services and be entitled to compensation when a written brokerage agreement exists between the client and the broker.
This agreement must clearly state the broker's duties, compensation terms, and representation type (buyer, seller, or dual).
Verbal agreements are insufficient to establish an enforceable right to a commission.

The net to seller calculation determines how much the seller will receive after the broker's commission and other costs are deducted from the sales price.
The correct formula is:
Net to Seller = Sales Price × (100% - Commission Rate)
For example, if a home sells for $300,000 and the commission rate is 6%, the seller's net before other expenses is:
$300,000 × (100% - 6%) = $300,000 × 94% = $282,000.
This formula is a required competency under the Math for Real Estate and Practical Applications unit of the Maryland pre-licensing course.

In Maryland, when a new salesperson applicant identifies a supervising broker on the license application, the applicant receives an active license.
An inactive license is issued only if no broker is designated.
An active license authorizes the salesperson to conduct real estate activities under the supervision of the sponsoring broker, in compliance with MREC rules.
