Answer options: ✅ No, because only a licensed individual can provide detailed property information and discuss financing options with prospective buyers.

• Yes, as long as a licensed managing broker supervises his activities at the open house.
• Yes, provided he clearly discloses his unlicensed status to all attendees.
• No, but he could perform these tasks if he were a licensed associate broker.

Correct answer: No, because only a licensed individual can provide detailed property information and discuss financing options with prospective buyers.
