Social media has transformed how real estate professionals market listings, connect with clients, and build their brands. But with new opportunities come new legal risks. In our upcoming Next Level Success Webinar, YouTwitFace: When Real Estate, New Media, and the Law Collide, nationally recognized real estate attorney and educator Trista Curzydlo will unpack the legal realities behind today’s digital marketing landscape.
What you’ll learn
In this dynamic one-hour session, attendees will explore how federal law, regulatory agencies, and professional standards intersect with social media and digital marketing in real estate practice. Topics will include:
- The governmental and industry entities that regulate new media use by real estate licensees
- How social media activity can trigger violations of the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA)
- The latest Federal Trade Commission guidelines on endorsements and testimonials
- Best practices for responding to online reviews and avoiding deceptive marketing tactics
- Copyright considerations when using listing photos, floor plans, and marketing materials
- How the United States Copyright Office treats works created with artificial intelligence
With real-world case studies, practical examples, and plenty of engaging discussion, this class will help agents better understand how their online activities can impact their professional liability—and how to protect themselves while still leveraging new media effectively.
Don’t miss this opportunity
Whether you’re a social media power user or someone who still refers to the internet as the “world wide webs,” this webinar will provide valuable insights into the legal issues shaping modern real estate marketing.
Best of all, this nationally recognized speaker is being offered free to WMLAR members as part of our Next Level Success webinar series.
Mark your calendar for April 27 and join us on Zoom for a fast-paced, informative session that will help you navigate the intersection of real estate, technology, and the law with confidence.
