What is required about advertising to avoid confusion regarding a team/group?

• A. It must clearly indicate that a team/group is being advertised
• B. It must include the broker's phone number
• C. It must list all team members
• D. It must show the property's address

Answer: (A)

Advertising must clearly indicate that a team or group is being advertised. This helps ensure consumers understand who will be providing the service and who is responsible for the transaction, avoiding the impression that a single licensee is the sole representative. When a team operates under a broker, labeling the ad with the team name and noting that it’s a team keeps the relationship transparent. The broker’s phone number, listing every team member, or showing a property’s address don’t inherently address the need to prevent confusion about whether the ad is for a team rather than an individual licensee. In practice, an ad should explicitly identify the team and its affiliation with the brokerage.
