[All New Jersey Real Estate Salesperson Questions]

A broker is offering a $100 gift certificate at a jewelry store to all sellers who list with the broker during a specified time period. According to the New Jersey Real Estate License Law, such a promotion is prohibited because it:

Adiscriminates against sellers who do not list with the broker during the specified time period

Bmakes the receipt of the free offering contingent upon sellers listing their properties with the broker

Coffers compensation for brokerage activity to unlicensed persons

Ddiscriminates against sellers whose religion prohibits the wearing of jewelry

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

According to NJ Real Estate Commission rules, brokers and salespersons may not:

Offer prizes, gifts, or inducements that are contingent on entering into a listing agreement.

This is considered an improper inducement under N.J.A.C. 11:5-6.4.

Therefore, the prohibition is because the gift certificate is conditioned on the seller listing with the broker.

I’m a bit confused. I thought the issue was more about unlicensed compensation, so C could be a possibility too. But I guess it’s not really about that here?

I remember discussing how promotions can be tricky. I feel like A might be the right answer because it seems unfair to those who don’t list during that time.

I think this question is similar to one we practiced about incentives and how they can affect fair competition. I’m leaning towards B, but I’m not completely sure.
