Question 40

No, the post does not violate internet-advertising rules because the link contains full data.

The agent's social-media post is compliant with internet-advertising rules as it provides a link to a full MLS page that includes all necessary property information. This ensures that potential buyers have access to comprehensive details about the listing.

A) yes—missing property address

This option is incorrect because while providing a property address is important in many advertising contexts, the link to the full MLS page compensates for this omission by including the complete property details, which are accessible to interested parties.

B) yes—missing brokerage address

This option is also incorrect. Although including the brokerage address is generally required in advertising, the provision of a link to the MLS, which typically includes such information, satisfies the regulatory requirements for transparency in real estate advertising.

C) no—link contains full data

This option is correct as the post includes a link to a full MLS page, which provides all the necessary information about the property. This fulfills the requirements of internet-advertising rules and clarifies any missing information in the initial post.

D) no—post is informal

This option is incorrect. While the tone of the post may be informal, it does not affect its compliance with advertising rules. The key factor is the availability of full property data through the provided link, which maintains adherence to legal standards.

Conclusion

The correct answer is C because the agent's post, while informal, includes a link to a full MLS page that provides all required information about the property. Options A and B fail as they focus on missing details that are nonetheless covered by the link. Option D is incorrect because the formality of the post does not impact its compliance with relevant advertising regulations.
