Disclose Any Fees Received From Recommending Real Estate Products or Services

by amyc

A Realtor advertised real estate-related products and services on her website through links to the websites of “Preferred Providers.” The Realtor received a fee each time a visitor clicked one of those links. However, the Realtor did not disclose that they were receiving these fees, claiming that the links were merely advertisements and not recommendations. Does this constitute a violation of the Code of Ethics?
