NEW UPDATE - LOGO Placement on TAR Forms when using TransactionDesk

August 2008 -
The field size for the LOGO placement on TAR forms just got BIGGER!!!

Instead of a small square logo, you can now place banner size logos on all of the TAR forms. If you would like to replace your small logo or add a new logo to the TAR forms when using TransactionDesk, you will need to follow the standard requirements:

800 X 125 pixels (dimension size)
JPG, GIF, and PNG graphic formats ONLY

When Advertising for FRANCHISE or COOPERATIVE ADVERTISING GROUPS only, refer to TCA 1260-2-.12 Section (4)(c):
Any licensee using a trade name on business cards, contracts, or other documents relating to real estate transactions shall clearly and unmistakably indicate thereon:

1) his name and firm telephone number (as registered with the Commission) and
2) the fact that his office is independently owned and operated.

How to update or place new logos on your forms:

1) Send an email to logos@instanetsolutions.com
2) Make sure you attach the logo and in the body of the email identify yourself by First and Last Name and your NRDS ID# and the name of your firm.

Note: All advertising, regardless of its nature and the medium in which it appears, which promotes the sale or lease of real property, shall conform to the requirements of TREC rules. Please review those rules before applying your company logo to the forms.
