 PROFESSIONAL ETHICS

 While there is no set standards that constitute ethical behavior, everyone knows what ethical conduct is.

 

  • The most important factor influencing real estate agents to operate ethically is their personal code of behavior. 

  • The most important factor influencing real estate agents to operate unethically is the behavior of their employer or other agents.

    A licensee can easily determine if a course of action is ethical by asking, "Would I want someone else to act in the same manner toward me?  Failure to apply the Golden Rule results in a double standard: how you treat others and how you expect others to treat you.

 

  • A licensee can easily determine if a course of action is ethical by asking, "Would I want someone else to act in the same manner toward me?“

    Just one dishonest or unethical person in a firm may destroy years of honest effort by others.  A licensee must strive for individual ethical conduct and strive to maintain a high standard of ethical professionalism within the industry.
