Humber/Ontario Real Estate Course 4 Exam Practice

For privacy compliance during an open house, a salesperson needs to:

1. Explain reasons for collecting guest information

2. Avoid gathering personal information

3. Secure a signed consent form from all attendees

4. Distribute property feature sheets per seller's instruction

The correct answer is: Explain reasons for collecting guest information

The correct answer emphasizes the importance of transparency and communication in privacy compliance during an open house. By explaining the reasons for collecting guest information, the salesperson not only demonstrates professionalism but also builds trust with the attendees. When potential buyers understand why their information is being collected—such as for follow-up purposes or to provide additional property details—they are more likely to feel comfortable sharing their personal information. This approach aligns with privacy regulations that often require organizations to inform individuals about the use of their data. Without this explanation, attendees may be reluctant to provide their information, thus hindering the effectiveness of lead generation efforts during the event.
