(a) the licensee advertises a property not currently listed with the brokerage with which the licensee is affiliated;
(b) the licensee has an ownership interest in the property; and
(c) the advertisement identifies the name of the individual licensee as "owner-agent" or "owner-broker."
(4) The name of the brokerage identified by a licensee in an advertisement shall be the name of the brokerage as shown on division records.
(5) A team, group, or other marketing entity which includes one or more licensees shall be subject to the same requirements and restrictions with regard to advertising as is an individual licensee.

(a) If a licensee advertises a guaranteed sales plan, the advertisement shall include, in a clear and conspicuous manner:
(i) a statement that costs and conditions may apply; and
(ii) information about how to contact the licensee offering the guarantee so as to obtain the disclosures required under Subsection R162-2f-401a(23).
