What action can licensees take regarding signs placed on properties?

Licensees are required to obtain written consent from property owners before placing signs on their properties. This requirement ensures that the property owner is aware of the signage and agrees to its placement, which is an important aspect of respecting property rights and professionalism in real estate practices. By having written consent, the licensee not only protects themselves legally but also fosters trust and transparency with the client.

In real estate, signs often serve as a means to advertise a property for sale, lease, or to promote the services of the real estate professional. However, proper protocol must be followed to avoid any potential legal issues, including trespassing claims or allegations of unauthorized advertising. Thus, gaining written permission is critical for compliance with local regulations and ethical standards in the real estate industry.
