Our code of Ethics and Standards

The Realtor is instrumental in molding the form of his or her community and the living and working conditions of its people. Such functions impose grave social responsibilities, which Realtors can meet only by diligent preparation, and considering it a civic duty to dedicate themselves to the fulfillment of these obligations to society.

The Realtor therefore must be zealous to maintain, and continually strive to improve, the professional standards of his or her calling:

• By keeping informed as to developments and trends in real estate,
• By endeavoring to protect the public against fraud, misrepresentation or unethical practice in connection with real estate transactions,
• By rendering services and opinions based only on the Realtor's knowledge, training, qualifications and experience in real estate,
• By seeking no unfair advantage over, nor injuring directly or indirectly, the reputation of; nor publicly disparaging the business practice of other Realtors.

No inducement of profit and no instructions from clients or customers can ever justify departure from the ideals of fair dealing and high integrity resulting from adherence to a lofty standard of moral conduct in business relations.

Principles:

• Loyalty to clients;
• Legal duty to clients;
• Cooperation with competitors;
• Truthfulness in statements and advertising;
• Non-interference in exclusive relationships that other Realtors have with their clients.
