Humber/Ontario Real Estate Course 4 Exam Practice

What must a salesperson ensure when advertising using their name?

1. The salesperson can only use their initials in advertising

2. Each salesperson mentioned must have 'real estate professional' next to their name

3. The salesperson must include their name as registered with RECO

4. A team ad should always specify 'sales department'

5. A salesperson must use the seven-digit license number in all advertisements

6. Adding a professional title like 'Dr.' is permitted if applicable

The correct answer is: The salesperson must include their name as registered with RECO

A salesperson must include their name as registered with the Real Estate Council of Ontario (RECO) in any advertisements to ensure that their identity is clear and verifiable. This requirement is crucial in maintaining transparency and accountability within the real estate profession. It aids consumers in recognizing and verifying the legitimacy of the salesperson they are dealing with, fostering trust in transactions. Using a name that is not registered could result in confusion or misrepresentation, which could lead to complaints or regulatory issues. While the other options present various conditions that could apply to advertising, they do not align with the fundamental requirement of providing the name as registered with RECO, which serves to establish the salesperson's official credentials in the industry.
