Spotlight on the Code of Ethics

Real-Life Situations to Help You Better Understand the Code. 

Each week the Professional and Ethical Practices Department is bringing you an Article of the Code of Ethics and an example of a case file related to that Article. Below you will find links to real-life scenarios and the conclusions of the issues related to specific Articles of the Code of Ethics.
 
These interpretations of the Code of Ethics present specific situations involving charges of alleged unethical conduct by REALTORS®, which are reviewed by a peer panel of Board Members and in which decisions as to ethical conduct are reached.  Each case provides the Hearing Panel’s decision based on the facts and the rationale for the decision.
