Hiring a real estate agent takes a lot of trust. Your home is likely your largest financial asset. Plus, you\u2019ll share information about yourself, your home, finances, and confidential details that could affect your negotiating position.<\/p>\n
This is why Realtors\u00ae \u2014 members of the National Association of Realtors \u2014 are required to follow a Code of Ethics designed to protect consumers and promote fair dealing.<\/p>\n
While the Code won’t guarantee a perfect transaction, it does establish standards for honesty, transparency, confidentiality, and professional conduct that sellers should expect from their agent.<\/p>\n
In this guide, we’ll explain what the Realtor Code of Ethics is, how it differs from state licensing rules, and the ethical obligations that matter most to home sellers.<\/p>\n
