How to Make Sure Your Social Media Pages are TREC Compliant
Criteria from TREC that will help you determine if your social media pages meet certain criteria and need compliance links added:
Links Must Be Added to a Business Page (trec.texas.gov)
A business website is a website used to attract or conduct real estate brokerage activity and includes a business Facebook page. For example, a website listed on a business card, yard sign or advertisements is a business website. If you have more than one business website then a link to the IABS must be provided on the homepage of each business website.
From TREC’s November Email About Updated Regulations
The term “business website” means a website that is accessible to the public, has content controlled by the license holder, and has information about the license holder’s real estate business. For social media accounts, the links may be located in the account’s profile or on a separate page or website through a direct link from the profile.
For both the Consumer Protection Notice and the Information About Brokerage Services form, TREC added a new option for using only “TREC” as opposed to “Texas Real Estate Commission” in the link so long as the font size is increased to at least 12 point (from 10 point).
