Arizona Real Estate Salesperson Exam — All Questions

Under Arizona advertising rules, when a salesperson advertises a listed property, the advertisement must include the:

• a.Property's original purchase price
• b.Salesperson's home address
• c.Employing broker's name✓
• d.Seller's full name

Arizona advertising rules require that real estate advertising identify the employing broker by the name under which the broker is licensed, because the broker is responsible for all advertising by licensees. A salesperson cannot advertise as if acting independently, and the seller's name or original price is not required.

An Arizona salesperson advertises a rental property that the salesperson personally owns. What must the advertisement contain?

• a.The property is being sold in as-is condition
• b.The seller is not represented by any brokerage
• c.A statement that ADRE rules do not apply here
• d.The words "owner/agent" appear in the ad✓

A licensee advertising their own or another licensee's property for sale, lease or exchange in Arizona shall disclose both the license and the ownership by placing the words "owner/agent" in the advertisement. A licensee may also never advertise property in a manner implying that no salesperson or broker is taking part. Cite: A.A.C. R4-28-502(A), (B).

What must appear in a clear and prominent manner in an Arizona licensee's property advertisement?

• a.The employing broker's legal or dba name✓
• b.The salesperson's own license number
• c.The seller's name and mailing address
• d.The multiple listing service number

All advertising must identify, clearly and prominently, the employing broker's legal name or a dba name that appears on the employing broker's license certificate. The designated broker is responsible for the advertising of all real estate activity. Cite: A.A.C. R4-28-502(E), (G).

Arizona's advertising rule restricts a licensee's use of the word "acre." What minimum area does it require?

• a.43,560 square feet at minimum✓
• b.One hectare, about 107,639 square feet
• c.40,000 square feet at minimum
• d.The rule prescribes no minimum area

A licensee shall not use the term "acre," either alone or modified, unless referring to an area of land representing at least 43,560 square feet. The rule exists because "builder's acre" and similar shorthand for a 40,000-square-foot lot had been used in advertising. Cite: A.A.C. R4-28-502(H).

Before an Arizona licensee places a for-sale sign on a property, what must the licensee obtain?

• a.A sign permit from the city or town
• b.Written consent from the property owner✓
• c.Notice to the homeowners association
• d.The designated broker's initials

Before placing a sign, or publishing to an electronic medium, giving notice that specific property is offered for sale, lease, rent or exchange, a licensee shall secure the written consent of the property owner, and the sign or publication shall be promptly removed on the owner's request. Cite: A.A.C. R4-28-502(I).

An Arizona brokerage advertises a listing on its website. Where must the required advertising disclosures appear?

• a.Anywhere on the web page, including in the footer
• b.On a linked page the viewer can reach
• c.In the site's terms of use section
• d.On the ad itself, without the need to scroll✓

Use of an electronic medium such as the internet, artificial intelligence or website technology that targets Arizona residents is advertising, and all requirements of the advertising rule must be satisfied on the advertisement itself without the need to scroll. Cite: A.A.C. R4-28-502(J).

A broker licensed only in Nevada signs a written cooperation agreement with an Arizona broker. What may the Nevada broker still not do?

• a.Erect its own for-sale sign on the property✓
• b.Receive a share of the Arizona broker's commission
• c.Speak with the Arizona broker about the terms
• d.Be paid compensation by the Arizona broker directly

Signs shall not be placed on real property in Arizona by an out-of-state broker, and a cooperation agreement is not authority to sell, lease, rent or exchange property to an Arizona resident. An Arizona broker may pay compensation to and receive it from a broker lawfully operating in another state, but all negotiations in Arizona must be conducted through the Arizona broker, who assumes responsibility for the out-of-state broker's acts. Cite: A.R.S. § 32-2163(A), (C), (E), (F).

An Arizona listing advertisement is written so it reads as though the owner is selling privately. Which rule does that break?

• a.The rule on premiums and promotional offers
• b.The rule requiring accurate square footage claims
• c.The bar on implying no licensee is involved✓
• d.The rule on filing development advertising with ADRE

A licensee shall not advertise property in a manner that implies that no salesperson or broker is taking part in the offer for sale, lease or exchange. The same rule requires accurate claims, bars misleading or ambiguous impressions, and makes the designated broker responsible for the advertising of all real estate activity. Cite: A.A.C. R4-28-502(A), (C), (G).
