According to Florida Realtors Hotline calls, FREC has stepped up enforcement, and some teams have already been contacted. ORLANDO, Fla. \u2013 The Florida Real Estate Commission (FREC) created a team-advertising rule that became effective on July 1, 2019, after giving agents working in teams time to prepare for the changes. However, a year-and-a-half later, FREC has initiated some enforcement actions against teams that include the banned words, either because it was never changed or because newer teams may have decided to use the words without realizing they weren\u2019t allowed. The team ad rule, 61J2-10.026 Team or Group Advertising, impacts office procedures and team advertising. Words no longer allowed in team names found within the rule include: (4) Team or group names. Real estate team or group names may include the word \u201cteam\u201d or \u201cgroup\u201d as part of the name. Real estate team or group names shall not include the following words: Agency Associates Brokerage Brokers Company Corporation Corp. Inc. LLC LP, LLP or Partnership Properties Property Real Estate Realty Or similar words suggesting the team or group is a separate real estate brokerage or company Other details of the rule \u201cTeam or group advertising\u201d means a name or logo used by one or more real estate licensees who represent themselves to the public as a team or group. The team or group must perform licensed activities under the supervision of the same broker or brokerage. Each team or group shall file with the broker a designated licensee to be responsible for ensuring that the advertising is in compliance with chapter 475, Florida Statutes, and division 61J2, Florida Administrative Code. At least once monthly, the registered broker must maintain a current written record of each team\u2019s or group\u2019s members. Advertisements containing the team or group name shouldn\u2019t be in larger print than the name of the registered brokerage. All advertising must be in a manner in which reasonable persons would know they\u2019re dealing with a team or group. Nothing in this rule shall relieve the broker of his or her legal obligations under chapter 475, Florida Statutes, and division 61J2, Florida Administrative Code. \u00a9 2022 Florida Realtors Go to Source Author: izaakh<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":6113,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nwfl4sale.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6112"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nwfl4sale.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nwfl4sale.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nwfl4sale.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nwfl4sale.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6112"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/nwfl4sale.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6112\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nwfl4sale.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6113"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nwfl4sale.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6112"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nwfl4sale.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6112"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nwfl4sale.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6112"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
