Hi,

I would like to build and run a USA ( California ) based real estate website from srilanka. It means any us based agents can list their rental properties through my website.

Is their any rules that i need to follow to run these kind of websites. currently my social media conversions for my niche is high.

Please advice me ASAP!

Thanks

    as a former real estate agent each state has their own guidelines on advertising, along with the rules of the MLS but it should be no big deal.

    It would be no different that the realtor advertising a listing on Zillow or Realtor.com

    Maybe I'm being paranoid, in the "sue anybody for anything" climate we're in now, I'd be very, very careful to avoid creating any implied warranty of the properties listed. This is especially true for vacation rentals and other short term properties.

    Running the site from overseas, you have no way of knowing if descriptions and/or images provided are either accurate or legal to use. For the second one, a DMCA page describing how rights holders can have illegal images removed may be enough.

    If you can, you may want to visit the American consulate or trade mission. They may be able to point you in the right direction as far as doing business as a foreigner.

    I also agree with John when it comes to setting up listings and things of that nature. Being in Sri Lanka and having a website that caters to US real estate folks should be fine. But, make sure you have a well written TOS, Privacy Policy..etc. before you start letting people sign up!
