The REALTOR® Promise
 
A REALTOR® is a licensed real estate agent or broker who is bound to a strict REALTOR® Code of Ethics by becoming a member of an association such as the Austin Board of REALTORS®. The Code of Ethics sets forth standards of conduct and professional integrity that are the hallmark of ABoR and those who call themselves REALTORS®.

In order to meet their obligations to clients, customers, the public and each other, REALTORS® pledge to:

 
  • Protect the individual right of real estate ownership and to widen the opportunity to enjoy it.

  • Be honorable and honest in all dealings.

  • Provide abundant representation of clients through increased education.

  • Act fairly towards all, in the spirit of the Golden Rule.

  • Serve well the community and country.

  • Observe the REALTOR'S® Code of Ethics and conform conduct to its lofty ideals.
To learn about the process for filing an ethics complaint, visit our Arbitration Requests and Ethics Compliance section.
