Compliance Quiz – Question of the Month 

One of the Compliance Quiz questions that has proven difficult for people over the last few weeks has to do with the content allowed in the public remarks or property description field. Here is the full question and an explanation for the answer:

“You’re entering a listing and you want the world to know all about it! Which of these would get you in trouble with CRMLS if you put it in the Public Remarks or Property Description field?”

a. The number of bedrooms on the property
b. A mention of a swimming pool on the property
c. The date and time of an upcoming open house
d. None of the above

Answer:  c. The date and time of an upcoming open house

Open house information may not be displayed in the Public Remarks or Property Description. The Public Remarks and Property Description field may not contain any of the following information: open house information, gate codes, showing instructions, compensation information, lockbox information, occupancy status of the property, email addresses, phone numbers, agent or brokerage information, links to unbranded virtual tours or virtual showings or virtual open houses, or language that violates applicable fair housing guidelines. CRMLS will remove any content like this as it violates CRMLS Rule 12.5.
