Here are some general principles to keep in mind:
|
Ethics complaints must be filed within one hundred eighty (180) days from the time a complainant knew (or reasonably should have known) that potentially unethical conduct took place.
 |
The REALTORS® Code of Ethics consists of seventeen (17) Articles. The duties imposed by many of the Articles are explained and illustrated through accompanying Standards of Practice or Case Interpretations.  |
Your complaint should include a typewritten narrative description of the circumstances that lead you to believe the Code of Ethics may have been violated. Click here for a PDF format copy of the Code of Ethics.
|
The Ethics Complaint Form should be completed and attached to the narrative along with any supporting documents. Click here for a PDF format copy of the Ethics Complaint Form.
 |
Your complaint must cite one or more of the Articles of the Code of Ethics which may have been violated. Hearing panels decide whether the Articles expressly cited in complaints were violated - not whether Standards of Practice or Case Interpretations were violated. |
