The feds are cracking down on agents and builders for deceptive ads
Great article and a good reminder about making sure to follow the real estate marketing guidelines set by the DRE. I talked to one of the attorneys about the MARS Disclosure to make sure I understood for our clients sake.   I've heard it directly from the attorneys who deal with these sorts of issues at the DRE...."you don't even want to open up the can of worms and have the DRE poking around in your files, who knows what else they'll find."  
Look what happened to Gen. David H. Petraeus.  I think I've made my point.  LOL

They are referring to advertising on websites, direct mail, Facebook and in newspapers.  The questionable ads refer to financing, loan guarantees and interest rates.  It's been a while since I've seen this topic come up so I read through the article to see what was happening.
I have to say, I was dismayed to see that veterans and elderly appear to be a particular target for misleading ads.
Consumers, as always, ... more
