Correct Answer

D) Compliant, because Michigan's advertising rules require the broker's name but do not mandate that the listing price be included

Michigan's advertising rules under MCL 339.2512 require that the employing broker or brokerage be identified in advertising, but they do not require that the listing price be included in every advertisement. Many real estate advertisements omit the price for strategic or marketing reasons, and this is permissible under Michigan law as long as the broker is identified and the advertising is not false or misleading.

Answer Options
A
Non-compliant because Michigan law requires the listing price to appear in all property advertisements
B
Compliant only if the seller gave written permission to omit the price from the advertisement
C
Non-compliant because all advertising must include both the brokerage name and the listing price
D
Compliant, because Michigan's advertising rules require the broker's name but do not mandate that the listing price be included
