What to disclose for advertising compliance

Every quarter RaiderX reviews each partner’s advertising and social profiles for the TREC basics — your name as licensed, your broker or team name, the required links, no misleading claims. What gets reviewed is what you disclose, so the disclosure is the job.

The seven steps

  1. 1

    List every profile you use for business

    Settings → Social Media & Website Links (mobile: Settings → Manage my social profiles). Add every account — including a personal one you post about real estate on; a single business post makes it a business profile under TREC’s rules. More than one account on the same channel? Use Add another. Each profile has Public profile and Email switches that choose where it is shown — the quarterly review still covers every profile you list.

  2. 2

    No social media at all? Say so

    One click on the Settings card records that you have none. It satisfies the requirement and stops the reminders. It’s a standing obligation: if you ever open an account, come back and add it — adding one withdraws the declaration automatically.

  3. 3

    No account on one channel? Say that too

    Under any empty channel, tick “I don’t have a TikTok account” (or whichever channel). It’s recorded with the date so the reviewer knows you checked. Adding a profile there later withdraws it automatically.

  4. 4

    Check the basics on each profile

    Your name as licensed and your broker or team name where your name appears; the IABS and Consumer Protection Notice links where they belong (the signature page shows both URLs with copy buttons); no misleading claims; and in a team or LLC, nobody presenting as “Owner” or the like.

  5. 5

    When the audit finds something

    It appears on Compliance under Action Required with guidance on the fix. You have 30 days from notice. Fix it, then mark it Fixed — that routes it to the broker, and only broker review clears it.

  6. 6

    The email footer check

    Every agent’s first audit includes it, because the broker hasn’t seen your signature yet. Install one of the compliant signature templates, email the broker from that account, and mark the item Fixed. Once it’s approved you’re clear for good: that signature is your signature of record, and it’s the one to use on all business email. If you change it in any significant way, email the broker from the new one so it can be reviewed again.

  7. 7

    A team or business name has to be registered first

    A page, site or sign that advertises real estate under a team or business name (“Smith Home Group”, “Living In Austin”) reads to the public as its own brokerage, so TREC requires the name to be registered under the broker before it is used — otherwise it comes down. How to register one is in the “Use a team or business name” guide.

What happens if it sits

Reminders escalate

Notice, then a warning with 14 days left, a final warning at 3 days, then past due.

Past the deadline, fines can apply

Items left uncorrected past the stated deadline are subject to a $10-per-day compliance fine per notice at the broker’s discretion (P&P § 22.7), charged to the card on file. Correcting the item stops it.

Teams and LLCs

The organization’s own brand accounts are disclosed under Organization Settings → Branding, and the same “we have none” declaration exists there.
