TREC launches advertising compliance program

AUSTIN – Around 1 percent of Texas Real Estate Commission (TREC) license holders are the subject of a complaint, and in 2022, slightly more than 5 percent of all complaints received by TREC were related to advertising issues.

Many advertising-related complaints can be handled easily, from adding missing brokerage information on for sale signs to adding missing required links on a license holder’s website.

Because of these simple remedies, TREC is launching the Advertising Compliance Program, which will streamline the processing of complaints that deal only with advertising violations.
