Relating to: changes regarding the laws governing real estate practice. (FE)

SB 478 updates real estate licensing rules for residential transactions involving properties with one to four dwelling units. It requires listing firms to publicly advertise such properties (unless owners opt out with a specific disclosure form) and share details with all agents, while banning undisclosed referral fees between firms. The bill also mandates clear disclosures when advertising uses technology (like AI) to alter property images. These changes directly affect real estate licensees, listing firms, and residential property owners in transactions. The law aims to increase transparency in marketing and compensation practices.
