10 serious offenses that occur in real estate blogging everyday..watch your back..your words are cached on the net forever!
- Talking real estate commissions-Sherman AntiTrust Act
- Fair Housing Violations in words
- Defamation of Character

- Code of Ethics Violations
- Real Estate Marketing rules
- Libel
- Violation of your own company policy and procedure manual

Ask yourself a few questions?
- Would you say or do this to someone in the same room?
- What would your broker say about what you write if you are not a broker yourself?
- If someone googled your name would you be proud of what you have placed on the net?
Are you blogging for notoriety or are you blogging for business? You might gain a few fans but you also may lose some..can you afford to any business?
