LREC Advertising Guidelines Checklist

The LREC has adopted an "Advertising Guidelines Checklist" for all REALTORS® and brokers. This checklist is meant to prohibit false or misleading advertising that would lead the public to believe that a team or salesperson is the responsible broker. Beginning June 1, 2017, penalties will be assessed on both the agent who placed the ad and their responsible broker for violations of the Advertising Guidelines. 

To view the checklist and ensure you are in compliance with the LREC's rules and recommendations, please click here. Please contact the LREC at (225) 925-1923 with questions.
