Code of Ethics - I stand up tall and love this Industry

By
Real Estate Agent with Dave Woodson

As a proud member of the National Association of Mortgage Brokers and the INAMB, I wanted to point out that this organization has always had a Code of Ethics that they require their members to maintain.  Recently in news stories I have seen more and more Mortgage Related groups adopting these types of conduct guidelines.   My hope is that these conduct and ethics codes are not merely window dressing.  It is important hat people in our industry understand that the choices we make dramatically affect peoples lives! I live by a simple standard when dealing with someone.  This is my home town, I am from LaPorte County, I go all over the NW Indiana.  I have dinner in Merrillville, Valpo, my daughter loves the Chesterton Library and my lovely wife is from Chesterton.  I do not want to be someplace and run into someone that feels I did them wrong.  That is not how I operate.

Below you can see the NAMB Code of Ethics:

Why would he tell you that?  Was he letting you know he will do what he "had' to do get the deal done!

I am troubled by the amount of people that will take the wrong fork on the road of ethics.  I hope you threw this guy out of your office.  He would scare me, next thing you would know is the RESPA police are knocking on your door.
