I am very proud to be a REALTOR who prescribes to the Code of Ethics. There are 17 Articles which outline specific duties to customers/clients, the public, and to REALTORS. I would like to highlight Article 16 which requires REALTORS to respect exclusive relationships. So, if a customer has an exclusive relationship with REALTOR 1, then REALTOR 2 is not permitted to talk with the customer without the permission of REALTOR 1. Now, each article has Standards of Practices that clarify different situations and can guide REALTOR conduct. It’s imperative that REALTORS know and understand each of the Articles and follow them accordingly. Case in point, there are times that REALTOR 2 can contact the customer and they are outlined in the Standards! If you would like more information contact me. I’m Ric Giumenta. You can have a good day or a bad day. It’s your choice. Make good choices. See you next time! - Posted in: - [Ric's Blog](https://www.giumentaschoolofrealestate.com/rics-blog/category/3-rics-blog) - Tagged with: - [REALTOR](https://www.giumentaschoolofrealestate.com/rics-blog/tag/17-realtor), - [Code of Ethics](https://www.giumentaschoolofrealestate.com/rics-blog/tag/34-code-of-ethics), - [Ric Giumenta](https://www.giumentaschoolofrealestate.com/rics-blog/tag/35-ric-giumenta) | | [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) | | [Share](https://www.addtoany.com/share_save) | |---|---|---|---| ### Authors #### Ric Giumenta ![](https://www.giumentaschoolofrealestate.com/media/com_rscomments/images/loader.gif) [ My comments ](https://www.giumentaschoolofrealestate.com/javascript:void(0); "This will show all of your comments.")
