The real estate commission has adopted the guidelines for internet advertising and social media.  These guidelines are to assist real estate firms and licensees in complying with the law. These will also provide standards for online practice by licensees and licensed firms that will enhance online real estate consumer protection. Link here for more information.

 

 

 

Before referring home inspectors to consumers, real estate licensees must ensure they are currently licensed.  Here is the link to check if a home inspector is licensed and current.  The rules and laws regarding the referral of home inspectors are:  WAC 308-124C-125(9)(a) &RCW 18.235.130(9)

Updates are always great and you do have a responsibility to stay abreast of issues. Better yet, get involved and serve in some capacity on a committee or board.

Mark- I have to say that some of these rules and laws are over the top. When do people take responsibility for their own actions and not keep searching for escape routes to blame another party. Laws like these will most likely effect E&O insurance and cost consumers in the end. When all people need to do is make sure they are satisfied with the credentials of the person they choose to hire.
