Humber/Ontario Real Estate Course 1 Exam Practice

Regarding the National Do Not Call List (DNCL), which statement is correct?

1. You may contact a buyer if they visit your office and agree to receive further communications.

2. You have ongoing permission to contact a past client registered with the DNCL who sold a property through your brokerage within the last three years.

3. There are no exceptions for businesses, charities, or political parties under the DNCL rules.

4. The Real Estate Council of Ontario directly ensures compliance with DNCL requirements.

5. You can only contact individuals not listed on the DNCL, regardless of prior agreements.

6. Exceptions exist primarily for clients who have initiated contact with your office.

The correct answer is: You may contact a buyer if they visit your office and agree to receive further communications.

Choice A is correct because under the National Do Not Call List (DNCL) rules, if a buyer visits your office and explicitly agrees to receive further communications, you are allowed to contact them even if their number is listed on the DNCL. This exception applies when there is an existing relationship or explicit consent given by the individual. This allows for flexibility in communication with potential clients who have personally expressed an interest in hearing from you, ensuring that you can follow up with them without violating the DNCL regulations. Choices B, C, D, E, and F are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the rules and exceptions related to the National Do Not Call List (DNCL) in the context of real estate transactions.
