SOCIAL MEDIA POLICY

Social media is a powerful and effective communication and engagement tool and the Company encourages Associates to utilize social media to help raise awareness of the Company’s business in their communities with their consumers.

  • Always be professional and ethical when engaging in social media and avoid making statements or posting photographs that could reasonably harm the business or reputation of the Company.
  • Do not disclose any confidential information.
  • Do not call for a boycott of a product, service, or Company.
  • Only post or advertise or communicate real estate for sale in accordance with state laws and MLS rules and brokerage policy and NAR ethics.
  • Must not use harassing speech, hate speech, epithets or slurs in accordance with Article 10 of the Code of Ethics.
  • Respect third-party intellectual property, and always use the REALTOR® trademarks in accordance with NAR’s Membership Marks Manual. REALTOR® means member of the National Association of REALTORS® and must not be used generically as a synonym for the occupation of “real estate agent” or “broker”.
  • If you are unsure whether a particular communication is appropriate, refrain from making the social media post or contact the Broker prior to publishing the post.
  • Associates that do not adhere to these Guidelines or who otherwise act inappropriately when engaging in social media, may have their employment or association with the Company terminated.
