REALTOR CODE OF ETHICS

The realtor code of ethics is a set of guidelines established by the National Association of Realtors to ensure professionalism and ethical conduct among all real estate professional agents. Every three years refresher training is required and if not completed there are consequences. Here are some very good pointers that are outlined for clear understanding. Integrity, realtors are expected to act with honesty and integrity in all transactions. Client loyalty should prioritize the interests of their clients and provide services with loyalty and dedication. All realtors as required must disclose any conflicts of interest and provide clients with all relevant information to make informed decisions with competence.

All realtors must abide by Fair Housing laws and not discriminate against clients based on race, color, religion, gender, sexual orientation other protected characteristics. This includes respect for others and treat all parties involved in a transaction with respect and courtesy, including other real estate professionals. This includes maintaining the confidentiality of their clients information unless authorized to disclose it.

CHALLENGES

There are many challenges as we travel through transactions, just to name a few is pressure to close deals that may lead to lowering ethical considerations potentially compromising integrity. This can flow into situations where personal interests or relationships conflict with duty to clients making it difficult to act impartially. Client expectations may sometime pressure you to engage in unethical practices such as withholding information or misrepresentation property details which leads into reputation management.

These experiences with a client in the public eyes can ruin a realtor reputation which makes it difficult to maintain trust. You must be clear and concise and no miscommunication which can lead to ethical dilemmas, especially regarding expectations and disclosures.  Rapid changes in the real estate market can easily happen and all realtors need to keep up with their local market, if not this can create pressure to act quickly and without experience may tempt professionals to overlook ethical obligations.

This is contributed by inadequate training on ethical practices which can easily lead to violations of the code of ethics.  This is why you need a trusted advisor to help you navigate the real estate process with buying or selling a home.
