BA listing not entered in MLS that may deprive sellers of maximum exposure and raise disclosure issues✓ Correct
CA confidential listing for high-net-worth clients
DA listing held pending final paperwork

Explanation

A pocket listing is one not entered in the MLS. While legal with seller consent, Ohio licensees must ensure sellers understand they may receive fewer offers without MLS exposure, and full written seller consent is required.
