Real Estate Advertising
Is Your Advertising in Compliance? In a recent Disciplinary Action Report from the Tennessee Real Estate Commission, 5 of 19 sanctions were a result of a licensee's failure to adhere to advertising rules and laws.
Without a doubt one of the most important considerations when advertising your agency, yourself or a property for sale is: “Is the advertisement in compliance with the Tennessee laws and the rules of the Tennessee Real Estate Commission. While there are several other agencies and organization that oversee advertising, the Tennessee Real Estate Commission determines if you even have a right to sell or list real estate for others as a business.
All advertising, regardless of its nature and the medium in which it appears, which promotes the sale or lease of real property, shall:
1) Indicate that the licensee is engaged in the real estate business.
2) Be under direct supervision of the licensee’s principal broker.
3) Include the firm name and telephone number. The licensee’s direct phone number may also be included.
4) Be done in a manner that is not false, misleading or deceptive.
5) When posting signs on any property, the licensee's firm name must appear on the sign. Additionally, the licensee's name must be no larger than the letters of the licensee’s firm’s name.
