A South Carolina real estate firm's advertising shows the team name 'The Johnson Group' prominently at the top, with the individual team members' names listed below. The firm's licensed brokerage name appears only in small print at the bottom of the advertisement. Under SCREC advertising regulations, which of the following is the most accurate assessment of this advertisement?

Correct Answer

D) The advertisement is non-compliant because the brokerage name must be at least as prominent as the team name

Under SCREC advertising regulations (S.C. Code Ann. Regs. 36-1 et seq.), when a real estate team advertises, the licensed brokerage name must appear at least as prominently as the team name. An advertisement that displays the team name more prominently than the brokerage name violates SCREC advertising standards, even if the brokerage name appears somewhere in the ad.

Answer Options
A
The advertisement is non-compliant because team names are prohibited entirely under SCREC advertising regulations
B
The advertisement is compliant because the brokerage name appears somewhere in the advertisement
C
The advertisement is compliant because team names are permitted to appear more prominently than brokerage names under SCREC rules
D
The advertisement is non-compliant because the brokerage name must be at least as prominent as the team name
