Brokers and Preferred Lists of Service Providers - What's Allowed?

Submitted by Christine Anderson on Fri, 2018-11-09 14:50

The Commission has received several questions about whether a broker may advertise about a service provider (such as a real estate inspector) and, if allowed, are there any limits to this type of activity?

Does TREC consider a logo that contains the broker’s full name sufficient for the broker name requirement?

Does TREC consider a sign on a building to be an advertisement?

Does TREC consider promotional items and sponsorships to be advertising?

Does TREC consider a license holder’s URL or domain name or email address to be advertising?

Can the team name used by an associated broker be the same as the assumed name used by the associated broker when he or she is not associating with another broker?
