Broker Tom is preparing a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) for a homeowner who wants to list her property. The homeowner asks Tom to label the CMA as an 'appraisal' on the document so it looks more official to potential buyers. Under Oklahoma rules, what should Tom do?

Correct Answer

A) Tom must refuse because Oklahoma rules prohibit licensees from representing a CMA or BPO as an appraisal

Oklahoma rules specifically prohibit real estate licensees from representing a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) or Broker Price Opinion (BPO) as an appraisal. Appraisals may only be performed by individuals licensed or certified by the Oklahoma Real Estate Appraiser Board. Labeling a CMA as an appraisal would violate Oklahoma licensing rules and could constitute grounds for disciplinary action by OREC.

Answer Options
A
Tom must refuse because Oklahoma rules prohibit licensees from representing a CMA or BPO as an appraisal
B
Tom must refuse only if the property value exceeds $250,000, as lower-value properties are exempt
C
Tom may label it as an appraisal only if he discloses that he is not a certified appraiser in the document
D
Tom may label it as an appraisal because a CMA and an appraisal serve the same purpose under Oklahoma law
