FREC Internet Advertising Rule.....

Below please find 2 articles sent us concerning this...

New FREC Internet Advertising Rule

If you have a website to promote you or your real estate company, take note that a stricter rule about where you need to display your company name is now in place.

As of April 18, the Florida Real Estate Commission (FREC) requires that your firm’s name appear "immediately above, below or adjacent to" the contact button or hyperlink – the point at which you ask someone to contact you or your company for more information.

Additionally, if your company names does not include the term "real estate" or is not immediately identifiable as a brokerage, you need to add language at the contact point to make it clear that you are in the real estate business.

In order to comply with the rule, you must also make sure that your company information appears on multiple pages, not just the home page of the website, if you have asked people to contact you on any of those preceding pages.

If you or your company prospects for customers on the Internet, you must comply with the new FREC advertising rule.

For more information, contact FREC at (407) 245-0800 or call FAR’s Legal Hotline (407) 438-1409. For faster service, have your real estate license number available.
