Ethics & Professional Standards Reminders

Realtor® members who violate the Code of Ethics can be subject to sanctions by their local Association through procedures established by the National Association of Realtors®.

  • If you believe another Realtor® has violated the code or the law there are various ways you can attempt to resolve the complaint.
  • Please review the professional standards procedures.
  • PAR is responsible for enforcing the Code of Ethics for 29 local boards/associations as part of the Statewide Professional Standards Cooperative. To report a potential violation of the Code involving a member of the following associations contact PAR.
  • If the Realtor® is not a participant of the Statewide Professional Standards Cooperative contact your local association to report a potential violation of the Code.
  • Remember -- potential legal violations are handled by the State Real Estate Commission, not the local association.
