Sign into your accountOne Simple Rule to Ensure Your Ads Don't Violate Fair Housing Laws
May 26 2022
If one thing is hammered into real estate agents' minds, it's this: don't violate Fair Housing rules! This applies not only to in-person interactions with clients, but also to your marketing and advertising.
Want an easy way to make sure your ads stay on this law's good side? In the video below, NAR staff attorney Mark Rohde offers a quick overview on what kind of language is restricted. Fortunately, avoiding inappropriate language is easy with one rule:
