Well, so much for the conspiracy theorists. FREC conducted a 1 day workshop seminar yesterday specifically regarding their announced enforcement of requiring all advertising to include the broker’s phone number. FREC was also conducting their normally scheduled commission meetings yesterday and today.
FREC announced their reversal on the FAC rule requiring all advertising to include the broker’s phone number. The FAC will be amended accordingly and there will not be any enforcement action taken in this regard.
There had been a lot of inquiries as to why FREC was requiring the broker’s phone inclusion. It appears many licensees were not too happy. Some even suggested a big broker conspiracy. Therefore, based on FREC's recent ruling we can reasonably assume either there was not any conspiracy or maybe there was – just without the big brokers. Just kidding…..I’m glad it work itself out to everyone’s satisfaction. After all, if the brokers (big or small) want their phone number to be included in any advertising they should simply make it standard office policy. Why drag the government into it?
