Question 69

A licensee can advertise property solely under their own name if they own the property.

A licensee is permitted to advertise property under their own name if they are the actual owner of the property. This allows them to represent their own interests without needing additional approval or conditions.

A) with the principal broker's approval.

Advertising under one's own name typically does not require the principal broker's approval if the licensee owns the property. Therefore, this option is incorrect as it implies unnecessary oversight when the licensee is the owner.

B) If they own the property.

This option is correct because a licensee has the right to advertise property under their own name when they are the legal owner of that property. This autonomy allows them to engage in marketing efforts without needing to disclose their broker's involvement.

C) as long as the listing price is included in the ad.

Including a listing price in the advertisement does not change the requirement for whether a licensee can advertise under their own name. This option is incorrect because it introduces a condition that is irrelevant to the ownership status of the property.

D) under no circumstances.

This option is incorrect as it suggests that a licensee cannot advertise under their own name at all, which contradicts the fact that ownership allows for such advertising. There are specific circumstances under which a licensee can advertise, namely when they own the property.

Conclusion

The correct answer is B, as it clearly states the condition under which a licensee can advertise property under their own name. All other options either misinterpret the requirements or impose unnecessary conditions that do not align with the ownership rights of the licensee. Understanding the regulations surrounding property advertising is crucial for compliance and effective marketing strategies.
