What sets a REALTOR apart from the average real estate agent? Well, the main difference is REALTORS are held accountable for their actions and must abide by the Realtor Code of Ethics, which were written by the first Realtors to hold ourselves to a higher standard when conducting real estate transactions.
There are 17 different articles in the Code of Ethics outlining ethical practices and our duties to our customers/clients, to the public, and to each other as REALTORS. From the first Article, to protect & promote our client's interest while treating all parties fairly, the guiding principle is the Golden Rule. Not many other associations have a standard of conduct like our Realtor Code of Ethics.
Next time you interview a real estate agent, make sure they are a Realtor, and make sure they know what the Code of Ethics is, so you can trust they will have your best interest in mind.
Our agents at Crane & Crane receive weekly Code of Ethics training...I believe it's the most important thing in business. If you don't have your integrity, you don't have anything.
