Humber/Ontario Real Estate Course 2 Exam Practice

What privacy measures should be taken at an open house by a salesperson?

1. Cannot collect names and addresses of viewers

2. Cannot distribute property feature sheets

3. Must disclose why information is collected

4. Must have a marketing agreement for feature sheets

5. Obtain fingerprint scans of attendees

6. Prospects must sign in as per REBBA

The correct answer is: Must disclose why information is collected

At an open house, a salesperson should take privacy measures such as disclosing why information is collected. This is crucial as it ensures transparency with potential buyers or visitors regarding the purpose of information collection at the open house. By explaining why information is being collected, it establishes trust and clarifies the intentions of the salesperson, which is vital in maintaining a professional and ethical relationship with those attending the open house. Options A, B, D, and F are incorrect because they do not address the key privacy measure of disclosing why information is collected. Option A suggests that the salesperson cannot collect names and addresses of viewers, which is not entirely accurate as collecting such information is common practice in real estate for follow-up purposes. Option B states that the salesperson cannot distribute property feature sheets, which is not related to privacy measures but rather to the promotion of the property. Option D mentions having a marketing agreement for feature sheets, which is important but not specifically related to privacy measures. Option F indicates that prospects must sign in as per REBBA, which is also important but does not specifically focus on the privacy measure of disclosing why information is collected.
