Tennessee affiliate broker Melissa works for Crestview Realty. She also operates a licensed property management company, Melissa's Property Solutions LLC, which is separately licensed with TREC. She places an ad for property management services under 'Melissa's Property Solutions LLC' without mentioning Crestview Realty. Under Tennessee TREC advertising rules, this advertisement is:

Correct Answer

B) Compliant if Melissa's Property Solutions LLC is separately and properly licensed with TREC for property management

Tennessee TREC rules allow a licensee to hold multiple licenses or operate under separately licensed entities, provided each entity is properly licensed. If Melissa's Property Solutions LLC holds its own TREC license for property management activities, advertising under that entity's name is permissible without referencing Crestview Realty — because the advertising is for services rendered under the separately licensed entity. Each licensed entity must comply with advertising rules for its own activities, but cross-referencing between separate licensed entities is not required.

Answer Options
A
A violation because all advertising by Melissa must reference Crestview Realty regardless of which license is used
B
Compliant if Melissa's Property Solutions LLC is separately and properly licensed with TREC for property management
C
A violation because affiliate brokers in Tennessee are prohibited from operating separate licensed entities
D
Compliant only if Crestview Realty's broker-in-charge has provided written consent for the separate company
