Which of the following is NOT considered acceptable conduct when a real estate licensee solicits a listing by stating that "non-whites" would be moving into the neighborhood?

Blockbusting.
Illegal conduct.
Panic selling.
Acceptable practice.

The correct answer is: Blockbusting.

The correct answer is A. Blockbusting is the practice of inducing panic selling or other undesirable behavior in order to get homeowners to sell their properties at a reduced price. This conduct is not only unethical, but also illegal under fair housing laws. Option B is incorrect because while blockbusting is illegal, the question specifically asks for a conduct that is NOT acceptable, so option B is not the correct choice. Option C is related to blockbusting, but it specifically refers to inducing panic selling, not just the general act of soliciting listings. Option D is also incorrect because the question is asking for an unacceptable conduct, and stating discriminatory comments is never an acceptable practice.
