The use of Facebook by real estate professionals and brokerages has exploded recently. It’s important to be aware that RECO and REBBA 2002 have regulations that guide how real estate professionals are permitted to use social media to promote their business, and the type of disclosures that are required to ensure that social media use is in compliance by all.
As a Real Estate Professional in Ontario registered by RECO it’s your obligation to use Facebook (and all social media channels) according to the regulations as they are set out and to ensure your compliance accordingly.
We have created this free downloadable guide, in PDF format, to help you understand your obligations as you add Facebook to the social media channels you use to engage your current and future clients. We have also included a section about “Facebook best practices” for you to follow if you are new to Facebook and would like advice on using Facebook effectively.
