What is one specific task an unlicensed assistant is permitted to perform during an open house?

An unlicensed assistant is permitted to hand out materials during an open house because this task does not require a real estate license. The role of an unlicensed assistant is primarily supportive, and distributing brochures, flyers, or other informational materials about the property is a straightforward activity that aids the licensed agent without involving any professional judgment or the ability to influence a buyer's decision significantly.

Other tasks listed, such as conducting property tours, negotiating offers, or making statements regarding property values, have legal implications and require a licensed real estate professional to ensure compliance with regulations and standards. Conducting tours involves providing information that may influence a buyer's perception of the property, negotiating offers requires understanding contracts and legalities, and making statements about property values can be misleading without the appropriate qualifications and knowledge to back them up.
