REALTOR® Code of Ethics
All REALTORS® pledge to abide by a strict code of professional conduct. This conduct is outlined in the National Association of REALTORS®' Code of Ethics and Standards of Practice.
Ethics Complaint Packet - Members of the public (or other REALTORS®) who feel they have been treated unfairly by a REALTOR® can use the professional standards process to seek satisfaction. The Code of Ethics is the standard by which complaints are weighed.
Arbitration Packet - REALTORS® involved in a disagreement, such as a commission dispute, may be required by the Code of Ethics to submit to arbitration.
Mediation - An alternative to arbitration, mediation can be an effective way to solve disputes.
Legal Hotline
One of the most valuable services MAR offers to its members is the Legal Hotline. This free hotline will connect you to an attorney who can answer a wide range of legal question with regards to the real estate industry. This hotline can only be accessed by Designated REALTORS® and their alternate. Designated REALTORS® can contact Opal Evans or Heidi Jenkins at 800-403-0101 to register an alternate for the free service. Hotline hours: 9 am-5 pm, Monday through Friday, excluding holidays.
Other Risk Management Tools
Risk Management is both avoiding or mitigating inherently risk-potential situations in business and dealing effectively with problems when they inevitably do occur.
