Frequently Asked Questions

What are the Fair Housing requirements for social media?

HUD prohibits discriminatory advertising on social media. Photos cannot suggest preferred demographics through lifestyle imagery, and captions cannot use exclusive language. All content must be accessible to disabled users.

Do I need alt text for real estate social media photos?

Yes. Instagram Stories, Facebook posts, and TikTok all require or strongly recommend alt text for accessibility. BuildMyListing automatically generates property-focused alt text that meets compliance standards.

Can I target specific demographics on social media?

No. Fair Housing laws prohibit targeting ads based on race, religion, family status, disability, or other protected classes. BuildMyListing helps create inclusive content that reaches all potential buyers.

What happens if my social media post violates Fair Housing?

HUD can fine agents $16,000+ for first violations. Posts can be used as evidence in discrimination lawsuits. BuildMyListing's compliance scan prevents these violations before posting.

How does BuildMyListing ensure platform compliance?

Content is formatted for each platform's specific requirements: character limits, image ratios, hashtag best practices, and accessibility features. You get platform-optimized packages ready to post.
