"False promise" includes both oral and written promises. The fact that a written contract between the parties to a real estate transaction does not recite a promise made by a real estate licensee to one of the parties or that a person did not detrimentally rely on the false promise will not prevent the commission from determining that a false promise was made. When deciding whether this section has been violated, neither a written contractual provision disclaiming oral representations nor the parol evidence rule shall prevent the commission from considering oral promises made by a licensee.
