My New Blog

The consumer should know there is a difference between a real estate licensee, and a REALTOR. I am proud to be a REALTOR, as it means that I am a member of the National Association of REALTORS, and that I subscribe to and uphold a Code of Ethics that is some cases requires more than the Department of Real Estate regulations.

I have spent the majority of my 22 years in the real estate industry as a member of the Professional Standards Council at my local association, Bay East.  I am a California Association of Realtors (CAR) certified instructor for professional standards, and I also instruct on the Code of Ethics for new members.

We take enforcement of the Code of Ethics seriously, and want the public to know that if they have a problem with a Realtor, they have remedies. Call the Association that your Realtor belongs to- you have a right to expect your Realtor to abide by the Code of Ethics.
