Broker Chen operates a real estate office in Minneapolis. She wants to run an advertisement on social media promoting her brokerage's services. Under Minnesota Department of Commerce advertising rules, which of the following elements is MOST critical to include in the advertisement to remain compliant with Minn. Stat. Ch. 82?

Correct Answer

D) The licensed name of the brokerage as it appears on the broker's license

Under Minn. Stat. Ch. 82 and Minnesota Department of Commerce advertising rules, all real estate advertisements — including social media posts — must clearly identify the licensed brokerage name as it appears on the broker's license. This requirement ensures that consumers can identify the licensed entity responsible for the advertisement and prevents blind advertising (advertising without identifying the brokerage). The brokerage name is the single most critical required element.

Answer Options
A
The personal license number of every salesperson employed by the brokerage
B
The home address of the designated broker responsible for the advertisement
C
The Minnesota Department of Commerce registration number assigned to the advertisement
D
The licensed name of the brokerage as it appears on the broker's license
