When should a licensee refrain from soliciting at a residence?

A licensee should refrain from soliciting at a residence when a placard indicates that the homeowner does not wish to be solicited. This situation respects the homeowner’s personal preference and privacy, aligning with ethical solicitation practices and legal considerations. A placard serves as a clear communication of the homeowner's wishes, and adhering to it demonstrates respect for their decision.

This approach is essential in maintaining good relationships with the community and avoiding potential conflicts or complaints. Respecting “no soliciting” signs showcases professionalism in the licensing profession.

While other options touch on relevant timing or scenarios, they do not specifically address the clear indication of the homeowner's wishes, which is paramount in guiding a licensee's actions regarding solicitation.
