B. the net proceeds of sold properties.

C. a probable sales price.

D. advertising strategies.

B. Seek to work with a practicing industrial broker either in the salesperson's present company or at another local brokerage.

This allows them to learn the nuances of industrial properties, transactions, and client needs.

D. ensure that consumers do not pay any more than maximum allowable prices.

Explanation: Antitrust laws (like the Sherman Antitrust Act and Clayton Act) are designed to promote and preserve free and open competition in the marketplace. Their purpose is to prevent monopolies, price-fixing, market allocation, and other anti-competitive practices that would harm consumers by limiting choices or artificially inflating prices.

Question 5 of 5.

Which of the following analyses must be prepared by a certified appraiser?

A. a competitive market analysis for a buyer or seller

B. a price opinion for a lender involved with a short sale transaction

D. a property valuation report supporting a federally-related loan application

Explanation: Federally-related real estate transactions, such as those involving loans from federally insured financial institutions, require a formal appraisal performed by a state-certified or licensed appraiser. A competitive market analysis (CMA) or broker price opinion (BPO) can be prepared by a licensed real estate agent/broker but are not considered appraisals and are insufficient for federally-related loans.
