Team or Group Real Estate Advertisements in Maryland

 

If the advertisement is in the name of a team or group, does the advertisement include the full name of the licensee as the name appears on the licensee and does the advertisement include only the name or photograph of a licensed individual or a licensee affiliated with the real estate broker in any group or team advertising?

Under current regulations of the Maryland Real Estate Commission, such name or photograph is not permitted if it includes the name or photograph of an unlicensed individual or a licensee affiliated with another real estate broker.

NOTE: A licensee may not trade solely in the name of a team, group, joint venture, partnership or LLC.

This policy was provided by the Maryland Real Estate Commission.

That's an important rule in your state, Roy.  I need to check on how California handles the situation about photos that include an unlicensed team member.

This has been a big issue in our state as well with the advent of so many large teams, Roy. I know there now are specific regulations on signage, although I can't say I've paid a ton of attention as I'm a sole practitioner.
