Which term best describes the placement of an ad for the sale of a property through a real estate broker without indicating the broker's involvement?

  1. Stealth marketing

  2. Blind advertising

  3. Ghost listing

  4. Silent auction

The correct answer is: Blind advertising

Blind advertising is the practice of placing an ad for the sale of a property without indicating the broker's involvement. This is often used in the real estate industry to preserve the anonymity of the seller or to create the illusion of exclusivity for high-end properties. Option A (Stealth marketing) does not accurately describe this practice, as it typically involves covert and secretive marketing tactics. Option C (Ghost listing) refers to a legitimate listing that has been publicly announced but then removed from the market without any changes made to the property. Option D (Silent auction) also does not fit as it involves a public auction where potential buyers can physically attend and bid on the property. I hope this helps clarify any confusion.
