Which of the following could be a reason for the Indiana Real Estate Commission to take disciplinary action?

The Indiana Real Estate Commission can take disciplinary action for various reasons that often relate to ethical practices and proper conduct in real estate transactions. Misrepresentation of property value is a significant violation because it undermines the integrity of the real estate market and can lead to serious financial consequences for buyers and sellers. When an agent or broker provides false or misleading information about a property's value, it can result in buyers making poor purchasing decisions or sellers overestimating what they can receive for their property. This type of misrepresentation is considered a serious breach of trust and is directly addressed in the statutes governing real estate practices in Indiana.

In contrast, failure to advertise effectively, disregarding state population trends, and not working with a team, while potentially indicative of poor business practices or strategies, do not typically rise to the level of misconduct that would draw disciplinary action from the Commission. Advertising is a subjective measure of effectiveness that doesn't necessarily involve legal or ethical violations. Similarly, understanding population trends although important for market analysis and strategy, is not a regulatory requirement, nor is the structure of a real estate practice such as working alone or with a team grounds for discipline unless it involves a breach of conduct or ethics.
