Under Massachusetts BORREBS advertising regulations and MGL Chapter 93A, all of the following statements about real estate advertising are TRUE, EXCEPT:

Correct Answer

A) A broker may advertise any property currently listed on the MLS without obtaining additional authorization

Option C is FALSE and therefore the correct answer to this EXCEPT question. A broker may NOT advertise any MLS-listed property without authorization. MLS membership allows access to listing data for cooperative purposes, but it does not grant blanket permission to advertise every listed property. Advertising another broker's listing without the listing broker's and seller's consent violates BORREBS regulations. The MLS rules themselves also restrict how listings may be used for advertising purposes.

A
A broker may advertise any property currently listed on the MLS without obtaining additional authorization

C
Advertising that contains false or misleading statements may expose a licensee to liability under MGL Chapter 93A
