TREC Rule 535.155(d)(15) states that advertising a property 10 days or more after the closing without including the current status of the property would be misleading or likely to deceive the public. REALTORS\u00ae should check with their local MLS to see what their specific deadlines are for updating status changes, as in practice, local MLS systems typically require status updates within a much shorter timeframe. If a real estate license holder advertises listings on the MLS or internet and fails to remove or otherwise timely update the listings within the applicable period of time after the listing sells, the license holder could be accused of misrepresenting the status of available property in their advertisement. A real estate license holder might also be accused of misleading the public to believe that the license holder has an inflated number of listings. Therefore, all advertisements on the internet that concern listed properties\u2014including MLS, websites, and social media\u2014should be promptly updated to reflect the property\u2019s current status (e.g., sold) or removed after the listing sells.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Real Estate License Act, TREC Rules, and NAR\u2019s Code of Ethics prohibit any misleading or false advertisements.
