Description

State Requirements

As a real estate professional, you already know that advertising your properties and your business is a must for success. But successful advertising is more than just using an MLS, running an ad in your local real estate publication, or posting an update on Facebook. There are numerous state and federal laws to which you must adhere. There are target markets to gauge and understand. There's an assortment of different advertising methods from which to choose. And there's a mastery of language to leverage to ensure that your listing descriptions and advertisements get noticed for their creativity instead of their puffery.

Today's real estate marketing also extends across a growing range of social media platforms. Each platform has its own audience, best practices, and compliance considerations. And increasingly, AI tools are shaping how licensees write listing descriptions, enhance photos, target ads, and communicate with clients. These tools offer real advantages, but they also introduce new ways to trigger existing violations. Knowing how to use them responsibly is now part of what it means to advertise ethically and protect your license.

This two-hour mandatory course fulfills Alaska’s 2026-2028 DCE requirement for the topic of Advertising, Social Media, and AI Compliance.

Avoiding discrimination in advertising
Misrepresentation vs. Puffery
Legalities of online advertising
