If a sales representative is instructed to falsely advertise a property’s zoning, according to regulatory standards, what should they do?

  1. Advertise following the seller's instruction

  2. Consult the local zoning authority first

  3. Inform the seller that advertising must reflect current zoning

  4. Seek permission to temporarily advertise the new zoning

  5. Submit an appeal for immediate approval

  6. Use caution and disclaimers in ads

The correct answer is: Inform the seller that advertising must reflect current zoning

When faced with the situation described in the question, the correct course of action for a sales representative is to inform the seller that advertising must reflect the current zoning of the property. It is important for the sales representative to adhere to regulatory standards and ensure that any advertising is accurate and truthful. Option A is incorrect as the sales representative should not follow the seller's instruction if it involves falsely advertising the property's zoning. Option B, consulting the local zoning authority, could be a good step to verify the zoning status of the property, but in this case, the primary action should be to inform the seller about the need for accurate advertising. Option D, seeking permission to temporarily advertise the new zoning, is not the appropriate action as it does not address the issue of falsely advertising the property's zoning. Option E, submitting an appeal for immediate approval, is not relevant to the situation described in the question. Option F, using caution and disclaimers in ads, is not the most appropriate step in this scenario where the zoning of the property is misrepresented. The primary action should be to address the inaccurate advertising with the seller.
