code of ethics: Conversations With Someone Else's Real Estate Customer-Do You Ask That Vital Question?
- 11/05/08 11:11 PM
Yesterday while in our Ormond Beach location a customer called in...yes a CENTURY 21 customer but not our CENTURY 21 but a location not too far away from us. I explained to the customer each office is independently owned and operated and I would be happy to get the number if he could hold tight. After I gave him the number he was quite shocked..and surprised and filled the phone line with flattery..his words made me smile..as he said he was impressed..as he had called another office and they tried to work with him. I thought to myself...hmmm..well what a … (22 comments)
code of ethics: REALTORS, Are You In Compliance? You Have Until December 31, 2008
- 10/09/08 05:57 AM
Today I sat through a REALTOR Code of Ethics Training...yes, I try and take it every year. I know you can do it free on line. "Failure to comply with this required ethics training is a violation of a membership duty for which the member’s primary association will suspend membership until the training is complete." For me I like to sit in a classroom..I like to socialize...gather and most of all learn..my goal in every training is to learn something new so that I may share with others.. Did You Know? The term clients have not been used since 1994. … (69 comments)
code of ethics: Don't Assume The Seller Dislikes Their Expired REALTOR! Basic REALTOR ETHICS
- 02/24/08 01:14 AM
Friday I had an interesting conversation with one of our listing machines...a blogpost provoking conversation, one that would make me question some REALTOR'S ethics...not the listing machine personally but those who sometimes go after Expireds.....one of them being the listing machine's expired listing. Often times listing machines have a defense mechanism...it's called thick skin. They are accustomed to it...word gets out...word gets back to them. Now with thick skin there is an understanding...if you do your job well and are successful sometimes you make enemies. Bad mouthing a seller's EXPIRED REALTOR because you wanted that listing...can be a huge mistake! Recently several REALTORS have … (47 comments)

- 11/25/07 10:31 AM
In the world of blogging, many bloggers think they can talk about anything at any time and about anyone they want. In their minds, it's fun...oh, it's only blogging. "What is the big deal?" "It was only a joke!" We're just having some fun. Recently the words of intent and malice have been used in the rain. Without intent, without malice.."We see nothing wrong here!" It's Fun...What's the big deal?You may want to rethink your thoughts again and read this vital information. It made me think. I had been thinking of creating a disclaimer. The information I read helped me make my decision … (232 comments)
code of ethics: "Are You Currently Working With A Realtor?" Oopsie I Forgot to Ask?
- 09/23/07 09:55 AM
This morning I sat through a mock arbitration and mediation. Its amazing to me what you can learn from your local Board of Realtors. Nancy Dance did a great job but I have to say, it was ruled that David Wyant was awarded the $33,000 commission. Keep in mind this was a mock mediation and arbitration.
While there I learned something new that made me realize I do believe many Realtors are Violating the Code of Ethics. "The National Association of Realtors, Code of Ethics." One of the responsibilities of a Realtor is to protect the public from harm. Failing to ask that important … (109 comments)
