The
single, most outstanding characteristic that sets REALTORS® apart from other
real estate practitioners is the willingness to accept and abide by the Code of
Ethics of the National Association of REALTORS®. The Code of Ethics, which was
first adopted on July 29, 1913, is a living document, responsive in its content
to changes in the law and industry.
The term
REALTOR® has come to represent competency, honesty and high integrity. These
qualities stem from voluntary adherence to an ideal of moral conduct in real
estate business practices.
What does this
mean to you? It means that any REALTOR® with whom you work with has voluntarily
agreed to abide by a Code of Ethics, based on professionalism and protection of
the public. But even with the best of intentions, planning and preparation,
occasional disagreements arise between REALTORS® and/or between REALTORS® and
their clients or customers.
Clark County
Association of REALTORS® offers its members and their clients and customers a
vehicle to economically expedite ethics complaints and /or arbitration requests
without going to court. If a monetary dispute arises from a real state
transaction or if you believe a REALTOR® may have acted in an unethical manner,
seek a resolution through the Clark County Association of REALTORS®. Ethics
complaints that are brought before the board give those parties involved an
opportunity to be educated about the Code. In addition, REALTORS® are judged by
their peers as opposed to other individuals who may be far less familiar with
the practices and customers of the real estate industry.
