In addition, the house must be sold or rented without the use of the sales or rental facilities or services of a licensed real estate broker, agent or of a person in the business of selling or renting dwellings, or of an employee or agent of any such broker, agent, or person; or the publication, posting or mailing of a notice, statement or advertisement prohibited by W.S. 40-26-104.
