A Wisconsin real estate salesperson, Dana, wants to advertise her services on social media using only her personal name and the phrase 'Call me for all your real estate needs!' without mentioning her broker's name. Under Wisconsin law and REEB advertising regulations, which of the following is true?

Correct Answer

C) Dana's advertisement violates Wisconsin advertising rules because all licensee advertising must include the name of the affiliated broker

Under Wisconsin Administrative Code REEB regulations governing advertising, all advertising by a licensed salesperson must include the name of the affiliated broker (or brokerage firm). A salesperson cannot advertise real estate services independently without identifying their supervising broker. Dana's social media post, which omits her broker's name, violates Wisconsin's advertising requirements regardless of the medium used.

Answer Options
A
Dana's advertisement is permissible because social media posts by individual salespersons are exempt from Wisconsin advertising rules
B
Dana's advertisement is permissible if she includes a disclaimer that she is a licensed salesperson
C
Dana's advertisement violates Wisconsin advertising rules because all licensee advertising must include the name of the affiliated broker
D
Dana's advertisement is permissible as long as she registers the social media account with REEB as an advertising medium
