Use the published provisions below as a source record for your broker. Check the rendered pages and the documents together. This article provides general information and a proposed website review, not legal advice or a compliance certification. Sources were checked on 2026.10.22. The final disposition of proposed 2026 rule amendments remains **UNRESOLVED** in this review. Have your broker confirm the controlling text before publication. ## Start with the published advertising rule The Secretary of State's posted Title 30, Part 1601, Rule 3.3 contains these provisions: | Provision | Published requirement to review | | --- | --- | | 3.3(A) | Advertising includes internet displays, social networking, email, texts, and material prepared for a licensee. | | 3.3(B) | Advertise under the licensed brokerage identity and principal broker's supervision. Other business-name forms require the applicable license. | | 3.3(B) | Display the principal broker or brokerage prominently, near the agent or team name, in print at least as large. Include the broker or brokerage phone. | | 3.3(C) | Obtain written property-advertising permission from all owners or a person or entity authorized to convey it. | | 3.3(D) | Disclose licensed status when advertising an unlisted personally owned property and in ownership-interest contracts. Publication ads must identify licensed status and cannot consist solely of contact details. Do not appear to act as a private nonlicensee. | [Mississippi administrative code, Rule 3.3, PDF pages 6-7](https://www.sos.ms.gov/adminsearch/ACCode/00000373c.pdf#page=6), checked 2026.10.22. Keep the approved brokerage name and telephone number in a controlled reference sheet. Have the broker confirm the exact values. Give the designer those approved values rather than asking them to reconstruct identity from an old graphic. ## Inspect the actual page presentation Open the homepage, service pages, neighborhood pages, listing templates, and standalone advertisements. Include phone and desktop layouts. Record the location of each identity block, its rendered size, and the contact route beside it. Compare the agent or team treatment with the brokerage treatment. Save a screenshot of each distinct template. Ask the broker to resolve an unclear placement before the builder repeats it across the site. Check graphics separately from the pages they link to. Keep the source file for each approved graphic so later edits can use the same reviewed identity. Treat a distant footer or a linked contact page as a design question for the broker, rather than assuming it completes the review. ## Verify team permission before cloning a biography The commission's posted compilation, revised 2025.02.21, states in Rule 3.5: - A team has at least two active licensees working under the same principal broker, with written organizational approval. - The principal broker registers the team, maintains membership information, and files changes within ten working days. - Advertising the team name needs written approval from the principal broker and team leader. Named individuals must be active licensees sponsored by that broker. - Brokerage name and phone must be prominent. The team name must be near the brokerage name and no larger. - Team branding must not imply an independent brokerage. Prohibited team-name terms include real estate brokerage, realty, real estate, and company. [Commission rules, Rule 3.5(A), (B), (D), and (E), revised 2025.02.21](https://www.mrec.ms.gov/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/MREC_RULES_AND_REGULATIONS_REV_02-21-2025.pdf#page=11), checked 2026.10.22. Request the actual team approval and current member list before reusing a team template. Keep private supporting records out of the public website. Ask the broker to review the approved name in logos, headings, biography cards, and social graphics. The commission's February 2026 document is labeled a proposed rule amendment. It proposes a team-leader change; it does not establish adoption. Leave the final amendment status open until confirmed. [Commission proposal, notice and Rule 3.5(C)](https://www.mrec.ms.gov/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/FINAL_COMBINED-VERSION-Proposed-Rules-for-LICENSEE-PUBLICATION.pdf), checked 2026.10.22. ## Keep licensed status and factual claims in the review Mississippi Code ยง73-35-1 requires a license before holding oneself out as a broker or salesperson. Section 73-35-21(1)(d) lists misleading or untruthful advertising among disciplinary grounds. [Commission license-law handbook, revised 2026.07.01](https://www.mrec.ms.gov/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/MREC_LICENSE_LAW_2026_REVISED-7-01-2026.pdf), checked 2026.10.22. Give the broker a list of credentials, service descriptions, and property claims proposed for publication. Attach the supporting record for each. Ask the builder to keep an unsupported claim out until the responsible reviewer resolves it. Keep numeric license-number display requirements **UNRESOLVED** until the broker confirms what applies to the website. Do not treat a review of one advertising subsection as an exemption from other requirements. ## Assign the remaining disclosure questions Request the applicable listing-feed agreement and approved IDX instructions. Have the broker identify the attribution, listing-broker credit, and disclaimer text for the actual display. Leave missing provider requirements unresolved. Ask the broker to confirm applicable fair-housing wording and any required mark or statement. This review does not determine those requirements. Keep those decisions beside the advertising review instead of treating a finished design as legal clearance. ## Prepare a reviewable handoff Keep the inspected template URLs, screenshots, approved professional facts, property permissions, team records, broker decisions, and open amendment questions together. Assign an owner to each correction. Request a repeat check of the affected templates after the builder implements the approved changes. ## Bring this work into your website scope Bring the approved brief, source records, and unresolved checks to the [real estate hub](/for/real-estate).
