Question 12

Addresses of all listed properties are included in advertising.

In Tennessee, while advertising by licensees must adhere to specific regulations, including the requirement for the firm name and authorizations from property owners or listing agents, including addresses of all listed properties is not a mandated requirement.

A) Firm name appears in the advertising.

This option is incorrect because the Tennessee Real Estate Commission mandates that the firm name must be prominently displayed in all advertising. This requirement ensures that the advertising is identifiable and complies with regulatory standards.

B) Principal broker directly supervises all advertising.

This option is also incorrect as it is a requirement set forth by the Tennessee Real Estate Commission. The principal broker must supervise all advertising to ensure compliance with legal and ethical standards, thus protecting consumers and maintaining the integrity of the real estate profession.

C) Property owner or listing agent authorizes the advertising.

This option is incorrect as well. Authorization from the property owner or listing agent is necessary for advertising to ensure that the advertising is legitimate and that the rights of the property owners are respected, thus aligning with the Commission's regulations.

D) Addresses of all listed properties are included in advertising.

This is the correct answer because there is no requirement from the Tennessee Real Estate Commission that mandates the inclusion of addresses in advertising. While it may be beneficial for potential buyers, it is not a legal requirement.

Conclusion

The requirement to include addresses of all listed properties in advertising is not stipulated by the Tennessee Real Estate Commission, making option D the correct choice. In contrast, options A, B, and C are essential components of advertising regulations, emphasizing the importance of transparency and supervision in real estate advertising practices.
