What must a real estate salesperson disclose when advertising their own property?

In the context of advertising their own property, a real estate salesperson is required to disclose that they are a real estate licensee. This is important for transparency and to inform potential buyers that they are dealing with someone who has specialized knowledge of the real estate market and the transactional process. The disclosure helps to maintain ethical standards and ensures fairness in the transaction, as it clarifies the salesperson's professional standing and potential conflicts of interest.

The expectation of disclosure as a licensee applies even when the salesperson is acting in a personal capacity as a private property owner. This commitment to transparency assists in building trust with potential buyers, allowing them to make informed decisions knowing they are negotiating with a professional.

In this scenario, although providing the name, address, and phone number of their employing broker might be relevant for other types of transactions or advertising, it does not specifically address the requirement of disclosing license status when selling one's own property. Likewise, stating that they do not need to disclose their license status if acting as a private citizen contradicts the need for transparency and ethical responsibilities held by licensees. The prohibition against selling their own home is also not accurate, as licensees are permitted to sell their properties, provided they adhere to all disclosure requirements.
