(a) Every real estate licensee, when promoting himself as
a licensee, advertising or promoting his real estate activities,
shall use the real estate company name under which he is
licensed by the commission and shall use no slogans or
phraseology in a manner which would indicate or suggest to the
public that real estate may be listed or is being offered for
sale, exchange, lease or rent by a private party not licensed by
the commission.
(b) Repealed By Laws 2011, Ch. 104, § 2.

state by use of letterheads, billboards, radio or television
announcements or any other media of advertising, without first
obtaining a license from the commission.

company other than the real estate company under which the
person or company is licensed by the commission.
(e) A trade name, with the permission of the owner of the
trade name, may be used concurrently with the licensed name of
the real estate company in the promotion or conduct of the

estate company name shall be displayed in a conspicuous manner
that the general public may easily identify, as prescribed in
commission rules.

unless owned by him, without including in the advertisement the
real estate company name under which he is licensed by the

exchange or lease of real estate owned by the licensee unless
the advertisement includes the fact that an owner of the real
estate is a licensee.

the first and last name shall be included. A common shortened
spelling of the first name of the licensee is permitted. The
use of a nickname is permitted if the nickname is reflected on
