An unlicensed assistant may perform all of the following activities, EXCEPT:

An unlicensed assistant is permitted to perform various supportive tasks in a real estate office, particularly those that do not involve direct engagement with clients or sales activities. This includes assisting with administrative duties, which encompasses tasks like organizing files, answering phones, and scheduling appointments.

However, the activities about exhibiting properties for sale or rent and interacting with potential buyers or tenants are critical aspects of real estate transactions that require a licensed agent. Showing homes for sale and providing in-depth information about properties directly to prospective buyers falls under the responsibilities of a licensed real estate agent. This regulation is in place to ensure that clients receive professional, knowledgeable guidance throughout the buying or leasing process, which unlicensed individuals are not qualified to provide.

Consequently, while unlicensed assistants can manage paperwork and support licensed agents in their tasks, they cannot actively participate in showing properties or engaging in discussions that would influence a buyer's decision.
