Under49 Pa. Code § 35.292 (Duties of Licensees Generally), a real estate licensee must not provide professional advice in areas beyond their expertise. If clients need legal, tax, or structural advice, they should be referred to an appropriate expert.

A real estate licensee should not attempt to answer questions related to law, taxes, or home inspections beyond their knowledge.

Directing clients to consult an expert ensures that they receive accurate and legally sound advice.

Why the other answers are incorrect:

Option A (Seek Legal Representation for Clients):A salesperson cannot act as a lawyer or obtain legal representation for clients.

Option C (Ask Associate Broker and Advise Clients):If the matter is outside of real estate expertise, it must be referred to an expert, not just another broker.

Option D (Advise Clients to Seek Another Salesperson):This does not solve the issue; clients need advice from the correct professional, not another salesperson.
