Under fax rules, a broker who sends a fax must have what with the recipient?

• A. An established business relationship with the recipient
• B. The recipient's permission
• C. Written consent from the recipient
• D. The broker's license

Answer: (A)

Fax advertising is allowed when there’s an established business relationship with the recipient. This means the recipient has previously engaged in a transaction or business with the broker, creating an ongoing connection that makes a fax about real estate services permissible rather than an unsolicited solicitation. If there isn’t such a relationship, the broker would need the recipient’s explicit permission (prior express invitation/consent) to send the fax. A broker’s license alone does not authorize faxing.
