Realty Point Inc releases their third in a series of white papers for Real Estate Brokers in Ontario to help them navigate social media RECO compliance issues when creating a LinkedIn® profile and LinkedIn® Company Pages.
Toronto, Canada, December 4, 2014 (Newswire.com) - Realty Point Inc releases their third information guide about social media compliance guidelines according to the Real Estate Council of Ontario (RECO) and the Real Estate and Business Brokers Act 2002 (REBBA 2002) for real estate brokers in Ontario.
“LinkedIn® is a growing platform for real estate sales professionals and brokerages to connect to their industry peers,” says Robert Lee, Information Manager at Realty Point Inc., “and accordingly their use of social media channels are regulated by REBBA 2002 legislation and RECO advertising guidelines insofar as disclosure of a registered real estate professional’s status is clearly indicated.”
"In 2015 we fully expect RECO inspections to more fully look at how individual brokerages, brokers and sales people use social media and that the required information is present according to currently available guidelines."
