Realtor.com
Revisions

now including multi-family homes, farms, and land.
Please be aware that any listings of this sort will now
be available on their Web site.
Misrepresentations of
Listings
Please make sure that you are correctly
entering the information for your listings.
Problems have been occurring in the following
areas:
- New Constructions—A new
construction is defined as “any property that is one
year or less.” Any property that was constructed prior
to this cannot be listed as a new construction. This
also applies to properties that have undergone
remodeling.
- Bedrooms—If a garage or a
den has been transformed into a bedroom, it needs to
be in compliance with the city’s codes. If it
does not comply, then the property needs to be listed
as it was in its original state.
*Failure to comply with these
rules is considered misrepresentation and is a violation
of the Code of
Ethics. |
