[All NCREC-Broker-N Questions]

[Marketing and Advertising Authorization]

A real estate licensee's advertisement for a house includes only the following phrase about financing: "Assume the owner's original loan with only a $1,000 down payment!" What is wrong with this advertisement?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

According to the Truth in Lending Act (TILA) and advertising guidelines in North Carolina, if a licensee advertises specific financing terms---such as the amount of down payment---this triggers the requirement to disclose additional terms, including the annual percentage rate (APR), amount of payments, and term of the loan. The failure to include these terms makes the advertisement misleading and non-compliant.

I think D) is misleading. Even if it's their property, they still need to follow the rules.

A) is definitely the issue here. Gotta disclose the APR!

I’m confused about whether it matters if it’s the licensee's own property. I feel like that could change the rules a bit, but I can't recall the specifics.

I practiced a question similar to this, and I think it was about disclosing loan terms. So, maybe option A is correct?

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about needing to include the brokerage firm's name. It feels like that could be a rule.

I think the ad might be missing some important financing details, like the annual percentage rate. That seems to be a common requirement in real estate ads.
