Why it Matters
Your ethical responsibilities can change depending on which side and where you are in the transaction.
Preparing for a listing presentation? What specific ethical considerations apply?
Marketing a property? What ethical duties need to be kept in mind?
Negotiating an offer or working through inspections? What ethical responsibilities come into play?
The resource provides separate checklists for listing and buyer agents, making it easier to connect the Code of Ethics to your role and the stage of the transaction.
Put it to Work
Don’t wait until an ethics issue comes up. Build the resource into your workflow.
- Before a listing appointment, review the Pre-Listing
- Before marketing a property, review the Marketing
- Before negotiating an offer, review the Contract Negotiation
It takes the Code from something you’re required to follow and turns it into a practical tool you can actively use in your business.
