What should licensees do to ensure compliance with advertising rules about license status?

• A. Include the brokerage name and display license status; avoid misrepresentations or deceptive practices.
• B. Post the agent's social media profile when advertising.
• C. Omit license status to avoid confusion.
• D. State only that the license is active without details.

Answer: (A)

Advertising must clearly and accurately disclose license status and identify the brokerage behind the ad. Including the brokerage name shows who is issuing the advertisement, and displaying the license status informs readers whether the license is active and properly licensed, helping to prevent misrepresentation or deceptive practices. The other options miss the mark because a social profile doesn’t address license information, omitting the license status can mislead, and saying only that the license is active without details may be incomplete or ambiguous.
