Question :
Is it improper to advertise with a real estate association like that enclosed? I know that you cannot directly advertise with a specific real estate company. As you see I helped last year, but have held off until I hear from your group. 80% of these inspection companies have resigned for 2002. I await your response. (Note: attached material included a letter from county real estate association offering levels of sponsorship.)
Response :
It is proper to advertise with real estate associations as long as the content of the advertisement, and the relationship between the inspector and the real estate association are not in violation with the code of ethics.
