Explanation
Pennsylvania PREC regulations prohibit 'blind advertising' — advertising a property or real estate services without clearly identifying the broker's name or trade name. Consumers must be able to identify that the ad is placed by a licensed real estate broker. Salespersons cannot advertise under their own name alone without including the broker's name. This requirement applies to all advertising media including print, digital, social media, and signage. Violations can result in disciplinary action by PREC.
