What is a requirement for licensees when advertising real estate?

Licensees are required to identify themselves as either a broker or a salesperson in their advertisements to ensure transparency and maintain professionalism in the real estate market. This requirement helps consumers easily recognize the qualifications and responsibilities of the individual they are dealing with. By clearly labeling themselves, licensees contribute to an informed consumer base, allowing potential clients to understand whether they are engaging with a broker, who typically has higher qualifications and more authority, or a salesperson, who operates under a broker's supervision. This distinction is crucial in building trust and establishing credibility in real estate transactions.

Other options do not align with standard advertising requirements. For instance, including the property value is not universally mandated and can vary based on market strategies and circumstances. Similarly, disclosing the number of transactions or personal history is not a requirement in advertising, as these details may not significantly contribute to a consumer's understanding of the licensee’s current qualifications or the specific real estate listing.
