REALTORS® Services
WHY A REALTOR®
REALTORS® are committed to operating with the highest level of professionalism and respect. All REALTORS® subscribe to a strict Code of Ethics and are expected to maintain a higher level of knowledge of the process of buying and selling real estate. As a REALTOR®’s client, you can expect honest and ethical treatment in all transaction-related matters. Here’s why it pays to work with a REALTOR®.
Investing in real estate is a big deal. The transactions carry significant financial and emotional ramifications for both sides. They are complex and take a lot of time. Having proper representation is critical. Our members are equipped with the necessary tools and skills to provide the client with the best representation.

MAKE A COMPLAINT
REALTORS® abide by the strict standards of the Code of Ethics. If a REALTOR® has failed to meet these standards, you can file a complaint. First, you must determine if the person is a REALTOR® and, thus, bound by the Code of Ethics.

OMBUDSMAN
The purpose of the Ombudsman is to provide a knowledgeable, informed contact when REALTOR® members or members of the public have real estate related concerns that have not been addressed by an individual REALTOR®.
The Ombudsman process usually involves parties who have not filed an ethics complaint, but have experienced a breakdown in communication requiring informal resolution. Often the Ombudsman functions as an intermediary who communicates the concerns of one party to the other over the phone, so a positive relationship can be restored.
PROFESSIONAL STANDARDS
Maintaining high ethical standards has been at the center of the Association since our inception. Every REALTOR® takes an oath pledging to uphold the Code of Ethics of the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® (NAR) upon joining the Association.
Complaints against members that are not resolved through a formal investigation may be referred by the Board of Directors to the Professional Standards Committee.
Any ethical complaint against members must be filed within ninety (90) days after the cause in respect of which the complaint arose. The complaint must be made in writing, signed by the complainant and shall specify the member complained against, and the alleged offence.
