Which of the following tasks cannot be performed by an unlicensed personal assistant?

1. Deliver marketing flyers

2. Negotiate lease agreements

3. Schedule appointments

4. Help organize open houses

The correct answer is: Negotiate lease agreements

An unlicensed personal assistant is restricted from engaging in activities that require a real estate license. Negotiating lease agreements falls under this category, as it involves completing critical terms and contingencies that will bind parties to legal obligations. Such activities require knowledge of real estate laws and business practices, which unlicensed individuals do not possess. In contrast, delivering marketing flyers, scheduling appointments, and helping organize open houses are tasks that do not require a license. These responsibilities can be performed by unlicensed individuals as they are administrative or supportive in nature, focusing on facilitation rather than actual representation or negotiation of real estate transactions.
