Broker Angela operates a real estate firm in Mobile. She wants to place an advertisement on social media promoting her brokerage services. Under Alabama Administrative Code Chapter 790-X, which of the following advertising requirements must Angela's social media advertisement satisfy?

Correct Answer

D) The advertisement must clearly identify Angela's brokerage firm name as licensed by AREC

Under Alabama Administrative Code Chapter 790-X, all real estate advertising by a licensee must clearly identify the licensed brokerage firm. A salesperson or broker cannot advertise in a manner that conceals their affiliation with a licensed brokerage. The firm name must be prominently displayed so that consumers know they are dealing with a licensed real estate entity. This prevents 'blind advertising' where the licensee's professional status is hidden.

Answer Options
A
The advertisement must be pre-approved by AREC before it is published on any social media platform
B
The advertisement must include Angela's license number and the date her license was issued
C
The advertisement must include Angela's personal cell phone number and home address for consumer contact
D
The advertisement must clearly identify Angela's brokerage firm name as licensed by AREC
