What type of violation are you committing when you fail to include a material fact or make false or misleading advertising statements?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

Comprehensive and Detailed

Misrepresentation occurs when a licensee omits or falsifies a material fact or makes false, deceptive, or misleading statements in advertising or communications. In Maryland, misrepresentation is a violation under 17-322(a)(1) and COMAR 09.11.02.01 (Advertising). A material fact is any information that could influence a consumer's decision in a real-estate transaction. Intentional misrepresentation may also lead to civil liability for fraud.

I feel like we covered something similar in class, but I can't recall if it was about advertising or something else. Could it be improper brokerage commission?

Hmm, I'm not 100% sure about this one. I know misrepresentation is about providing inaccurate information, but could it also be considered improper brokerage if it's related to a financial transaction? I'll have to review my notes to be sure.

I'm a little confused on this one. Is it possible that it could also be considered a conflict of interest if the misleading statements were made to benefit the company in some way? I'll have to weigh the options carefully.
