What is the definition of 'mere posting'?

• A. A listing on MLS where the listing broker provides full services to the seller
• B. A listing on MLS where the seller handles all negotiations directly
• C. A listing on MLS where the member has chosen not to provide services to the seller other than submitting the listing for posting
• D. A listing not posted on MLS

Answer: (C)

Mere posting means the broker does almost nothing beyond placing the property on MLS. The seller handles price decisions, negotiations, marketing, and showings, while the broker’s only role is submitting the listing for posting. This is a limited-service arrangement where no additional brokerage services are provided.

That’s why this option fits: it states the member has chosen not to provide services to the seller other than submitting the listing for posting. The other scenarios describe full services, negotiations handled by the seller, or a listing not on MLS, none of which match the idea of posting the listing with minimal broker involvement.
