WHAT IS THE REALTORS CODE OF ETHICS? WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO ME?
The Code, based on the “Golden Rule,” provides a standard of conduct for the members of the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS. When the Association adopted its Code in 1913, it was the second business group in the nation to follow the professions of medicine, law, and engineering in the formation and enforcement of a code for its members. A REALTOR’s strict adherence to this Code of Ethics ensures that your property transaction will be handled in a fair and ethical manner. It is a pledge to act fairly toward you, whether you’re a buyer or a seller. For professional advice and service in real estate matters, consult a real estate agent who’s a REALTOR, a member of the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS.
