Those real estate agents in Florida who are racking up points on Activerain by advertising other realtors' listings as blogs are soon up for a rude awakening. Now you will actually have to write a real blog.
The Florida board of realtors has made it illegal for agents to advertise other agents' listings unless they have specific permission in the form a a specialized form with signature. So if you think you make a simple phone call or email asking for permission, that is not enough. And no agent is going to go through all the trouble of filling out a form for someone else's benefit.
This will hopefully eliminate all of the bogus Craigslist ads and weed out all of the unscrupulous agents out there who use these listings to further their goals at the expense and sweat of another agent. My advice to all of those who think they can buck the system is to think twice about it if you do not want to get penalized.
