Professionalism & Code of Ethics

One of the things separating REALTORS® from other real estate agents is their adherence to the REALTOR® Code of Ethics. This code ensures consumers that, when they are dealing with a REALTOR®, they will be treated fairly and professionally. 

However, every now and then a disagreement comes up between a home buyer/seller and his or her REALTOR®. Most of these differences can be resolved with good communication and understanding between the two parties. But when resolution cannot be found the easy way, the Code of Ethics and the professional standards process provides an outlet for consumers who feel they were treated unfairly by their REALTOR®.
