Under Kansas law and BRRETA, which of the following is NOT a valid method by which an offer to purchase real estate may be terminated before a binding contract is formed?

Correct Answer

D) The listing broker files a notice of offer termination with the Kansas Real Estate Commission

Filing a notice of offer termination with KREC is not a recognized method of terminating a real estate offer under Kansas law. KREC is the state licensing authority that regulates licensees — it does not serve as a repository for offer terminations or play a role in the mechanics of contract formation and termination between private parties. This option describes a fictitious procedure that does not exist under Kansas law.

Answer Options
A
The offeror revokes the offer in writing before the seller communicates acceptance
B
The offer's stated expiration deadline passes without the seller accepting
C
The seller makes a counteroffer that changes a material term of the original offer
D
The listing broker files a notice of offer termination with the Kansas Real Estate Commission
