Humber/Ontario Real Estate Course 2 Exam Practice

Regarding communication rules, what should Salesperson Cera do for a ‘mere posting’ on the MLS?

1. Avoid contacting the seller directly about the property.

2. Communicate with the seller only for scheduling showings.

3. Seek detailed instructions from the listing agent.

4. Show the property before contacting any agent.

5. Skip the property to avoid compensation issues.

6. Talk to the seller directly without agent's permission.

The correct answer is: Seek detailed instructions from the listing agent.

For a 'mere posting' on the MLS, Salesperson Cera should seek detailed instructions from the listing agent. This is important because a 'mere posting' typically means that the seller has opted to market their property on the MLS system themselves, without the full services of a real estate agent. In this scenario, the listing agent maintains control over the communication and showing process for the property. Options A, B, D, E, and F are not correct because they do not align with the appropriate protocol for handling a 'mere posting' on the MLS. It is crucial for Salesperson Cera to respect the listing agent's role and follow their instructions to ensure a smooth and professional transaction.
