Common questions about real estate websites

What Fair Housing rules apply to real estate websites?

The Fair Housing Act prohibits discriminatory advertising. Your website cannot use language that indicates preference based on race, color, religion, sex, disability, familial status, or national origin. HUD actively monitors real estate websites for violations.

Do I need my broker license number on my website?

Most states require real estate professionals to display their license number and brokerage affiliation on all advertising, including websites. The exact requirements vary by state.

What are the MLS/IDX display requirements for my website?

If you display MLS listings, you must follow your MLS rules for data display, attribution, and update frequency. Most MLSs require specific disclaimers, data accuracy statements, and broker attribution on every listing page.
