Humber/Ontario Real Estate Course 4 Exam Practice

In what way should a salesperson handle privacy concerns during an open house?

1. Include a privacy statement on the guest registration form

2. Avoid collecting names and addresses of prospects

3. Cannot distribute property feature sheets without a separate agreement

4. Ensure individuals sign the guest registration

The correct answer is: Include a privacy statement on the guest registration form

During an open house, it is important for a salesperson to address privacy concerns appropriately. Including a privacy statement on the guest registration form is the correct way to handle privacy concerns because it ensures that attendees are aware of how their information will be used and gives them the opportunity to agree or disagree with the terms outlined. This transparency and respect for privacy demonstrate professionalism and trustworthiness on the part of the salesperson. Option B is not the best choice as it may limit the salesperson's ability to follow up with potential leads and provide necessary information after the open house. Option C is not a standard practice and may make it difficult for potential buyers to obtain important information about the property they are interested in. Option D would be too intrusive and may not be necessary for all attendees, creating a barrier to entry for some individuals who are just browsing.
